Here's my label for my peated stout with Brer Rabbit blackstrap molasses.

Anybody ever tried a stout with molasses and peat smoked malt? Maybe I'm weird, but it sounds good to me. I can see the label now: "Peater Rabbit's Stout." :D Any recipe ideas? And please, hold back the anti-peat comments. :rolleyes:

Could corn syrup be used in a beer? It seems to me that it would add more fermentable sugar and little if no taste. Isn't it just corn sugar in a liquid form? Kinda like LME vs DME. Maybe I could brew a beer for my friends that think Sam Adams id the be-all-and-end-all in beer.

My first attempt: My 2nd Attempt: I'm working on the Victory Ale label now. I'll post some wine lables later.
