Cracked a bottle of the American stout. Holy mother of Zeus, is this good. Best beer by far I have ever made. Its only been bottled like 2 weeks, so its real young with this many hops and low carbed but lord is it good.
I do not see any reason at all to change anything with this recipie. needs a name though.
Dead Horse Stout? Dead Horse Ale? Abyss?
have to think about it.
