I figured I could post an update for my brew. It is a tasty little americ

an stout at first the hops were featured so there was less roasty aromas but now after a couple weeks in the bottle it compares favorably to the Sierra Nevada itself. Good session american stout IMO its a very simple recipe resulting in a nice ale.

Threw this together yesterday as my first stout. Currently bubbling away. I'll try to tell you how she ends up!

anyone care to comment on whether it might be better to cut back on the black patent? or maybe use debittered black? from what i've read black patent doesn't usually got more than 2-3% in a recipe?

I got this in the fermenter right now. Will bottle next week. I will post an update in a few weeks. I have three bottles of SN Stout for comparison.

Sure, a lot of people say that. I'd be willing to bet no more than 1 in 50 of them have actually tried doing so, so they're just talking about things they don't know. Give it a shot, if you're curious. Black malt has a different flavor than roasted barley, but it's no worse. I like it better. Try something like SN stout or Obsidian stout to see if you like your roast malted or not.
