I have a friend who is a wine and scotch drinker. Not saying that he thinks low of beer, but he probably hasn't had the right one yet (that's what I tell everyone who thinks of beer as a low drink). He drinks very high end stuff and I am trying to convince him that I can brew a beer that he can, at the very least, enjoy. I am not trying to take over his $200 wines and $100 scotches, but a little competion is always good. Any suggestions? I was thinking of messing around with a rauchbier recipe and tweaking it to complement a scotch flavor since you need to match the smokiness. Also probably keep the hop profile medium with enough herbal to match the peaty flavor most scotches contain. Let me know your thoughts, and if you have converted anyone as well!
