you could use s04 or gervin ale each will give the stout its own unique taste

I am emailing Brewlabs for one as you got me thinking about doing one now, lol

Just been reading through the book myself! A quote from it... "The yeast strain used in the Dublin brewery is a modern culture derived from Arthur Guinness's original multi-strain one. It works rapidly, fermentation lasting only two to three days and is neither a top nor bottom fermenting - Quite a challenge for home brewers"

US05 is also a good option for stouts.

Plenty of choc and roast malt in.
