Winter stout swap style poll

[Alastair70]

It’s a couple of weeks until we announce the winter brew ‘n’ swap and it’s going to be a stout. If you are interested in taking part please take a moment to comment and vote on your preferred style to brew. I have omitted Russian Imperial, we’re doing it properly as the slow burner brew in 2023. You can vote for two styles if I’ve set up the poll right.

Hi, I'll take part, I've really enjoyed these swaps so far. I've voted for a tropical and an American stout.

 

[samale]

I have went American and an oatmeal stout

 

[Fazzer]

My next brew is going to be a milk stout. I've already got the kit.
So I've gone for 16A.

 

[samale]

Tropical stout sounds good as well

 

[Donegal john]

Tropical and stout should not be used in the same phrase. Ever. Black. And bitter.
What is wrong with you people

West Indies porter would fall under the tropical category

West Indies porter would fall under the tropical category

And the key word in the phrase is “porter” I rest my case

I thought that was the whole point though, to brew something you wouldn’t normally brew. Or in your case never brew

Well then I want “hazy stout” added as a choice

 

[Donegal john]

All joking aside is a tropical stout not just a variation of a foreign extra stout ?

You need a snickers or is it still marathon down with you

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

I went for sweet cos that’s my favourite and tropical cos that sounds disturbing

Sounds just as intriguing as black IPA

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I went for Irish stout and oatmeal because there isn’t an option for sparkling stout

 

[samale]

I am brewing a breakfast stout, would that fall under oat meal

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Another question as well please. Do you want us to stick to BJCP guidelines?

I would say so.

My next brew will be a nitro Beamish clone. I am guessing that will not do so well if transferred from a keg to a PET bottle. Even if it is under pressure.

Yes, the plan is to pick a sub-style and brew to it. We may have tie and have two choices given that Tropical has split the crowd somewhat.

Okey dokey. I am on team tropical personally, looking at the results.

I'm up for a dry Irish or oat stout. That's what a stout is to me. If it's sweet then I'm out, as I struggle to drink them.
