Certainly doesView attachment 40595had a sample from my first attempt with a pb 12 days in looking good
Silky as a Cashmere Codpiece from @Hazelwood Brewery View attachment 40594
This was too fizzy for me again straight out of the bottle so I stood it to one side while I prepared tonight's bolognese and had a pint of my Rabbit Island pale. Now it's more like it, dark and silky like...well whatever takes your fancy @Clint! There's not much aroma but the taste is plum porter with a distinct roasted coffee to follow. I'm guessing there's little hops in this and the chocolate malt really pulls it all together. Perhaps not quite as much body as I would like but the flavour is very well balanced and easy drinking. Rich creamy head remained right to the last. Cheers Les, thanks for the swaps
I used WLP 530 if I was to make it again I would try it at a higher fermentation temperature. It's a lovely stout and very easy drinking for 8.5 % abv. I am working so don't have my notes but I think it finished 1.018Just drowning my sorrows after the hammers take their usual medicine against Liverpool
So I'm going to have a beer sent from a Liverpool fan @samale Belgian Stout.
Carbonation is just right, jet black with a nice creamy head. Roast and coffee aroma and same comes through in the flavour. Belgian, hmmm if you search for it I can taste some fruitiness at the end which I'm assuming is the yeast character. Nice level of bitterness and really drinkable ( I'm trying to let it warm up to see if anymore Belgian character comes out). Really good what was the yeast and the FG?

Argyle, Plymouth?
Glad you enjoyed it, I thought it was a great recipe too.@Pennine wee heavy, this is exactly the sort of beer I like, malty, a little bit of earthy hops, some fruit esters, perhaps a little undercarbed as you said but not overly so. I love it, thanks for sharing.
Oh and at 8.4% dangerously easy drinking!!
