The Monster meets The Otis

Presenting the Cliford Stout.

Ingredients:
2 x Cooper's Stout Kits
1kg Dark Dried Malt Extract
500g Milo approx
200g Black Patent Malt
20g Fuggles @ 30 mins
10g Fuggles @ 10 mins
High Gravity Ale Yeast.

Fermenting Notes:
Left in fermenter for about a month and a half after fermentation finished, finally bottled into longnecks on Monday the 16th. At least it follows the precedent set by the previous Milo Stout (see below). During that time the taste went from roasted goodness through soy saucey to reach a flavour and aroma reminiscent of a Dark Christmas Pudding at bottling. Stay tuned for tasting.

Bottling Notes:
It was a sunny winter's day, and I was listening to PBS. Housemates were studying feverishly for exams, which is exactly what I should have been doing....
First brew of the new house too, this one.
