My Irish Cream Stout 10 months bottled-version St Partricks Irish Cream stout from Homebrewers recipe guide,tastes like cherry coke a little smells great,could use some creamy body though. Maybe my bad for not using the irish ale yeast? Underpitched a little too.Used 04 yeast and spaltz hops,subbed.Smells great,tastes good. No 04 esters at all.One of my few blow off tube batches,too.
My birthday batch of a RIS that had none of the specialty grain or hops that I wanted (damn lhbs), horrible efficiency, and propane ran out halfway through the boil and I was unable to procure more and fermented it anyway. I call it, Short Bus Stout. (working title)
Sounds awesome. I've got my next brew planned already, but I've got some Citra and I'm definitely going to combine it with some of my tangier varieties - I've got Amarillo, Simcoe, Centennial, Zeus, etc. Can't go wrong with Amarillo. I've got a Citra/Fuggle strong bitter 3 weeks in the fermenter - I've got high hopes for that one.
I think this is my favorite import Pils available in the mid-west. It's got enough bitterness to match the yeasty flavor that dominates some pilsners. It's the most like the Pils I remember drinking in Germany back in the eighties.
