Well, as I've mentioned on the "kits to brew before going AG" thread, I've just (well, last night) had the first bottle of my stout.
And it's bloody lovely.
Decent coffee-coloured head that lasts to the bottom of the glass, as does the fizz, and a great smooth but complex flavour. Admittedly I brewed it with 500g dark DME, a tin of black treacle and a big jar of golden syrup, but it really is gorgeous.
It was in warm storage for two weeks and cooler for 1 week so far, and I fridged this one for 48hrs before serving. Had it not been bedtime when I'd finished it, I'm sure more would have sunk.
Highly recommended.
