NOTES: Absolutely delcious. The new house stout around here. It is smooth, creamy, malty and a nice hit of chocolate. The Roasted is barely noticable through the intense cream. The aroma is powerful and malty. Perfect bitterness. This beer is great!

Don't worry, one already has your name on it. About to post pics in a minute. I just pulled one of the keg .... mmmmMMMMMMMM unbelievable head, so smooth, strong lace all the way down the mug, the head has stayed at a half inch for over half the beer and I"m still drinking on it.
That... beer... looks.... .... beautiful. The head on that is perfect, thick and dark. Haven't made a batch of beer since last winter, this will be my next one I promise.
Very nice! Are you using straight CO2 on the keg? I have yet to do a stout but you have me thinking it is higher on the list than it was.

Yep, force carbed this one. It was my first kegged beer and was antsy to try it. Worked well though. I actually finished the keg off last night while camping with some friends in the ozarks.
