Trying to come up with a bacon maple porter. Any suggestions on this? Thinking on baking the bacon in oven and dry hopping with it. For the maple part, using a syrup addition or smoking grain over maple? Anyone tried this?
What about using something like Marmite instead, then? I think here Bovril is natural, but I would need to look into it to confirm.
I have a brewing book with quite a lot of strange recipes in it, one of them is "Cock ale" and says you should put in the bones, skin and neck of a roasted chicken in. Not tried it myself, but I would just substitute that with a Knor chicken stock cube. Haha When I get home I will look the ingredients up in the book for you and post then on here. Something different.
I didn't like Rogue's version of this

I also had this beer and thought it tasted just like breakfast. Pancakes and bacon with maple syrup poured over the top. That being said im glad i tried it, but if I had more would only use it to cook with
I don't want breakfast at your house!
A buddy and I drove three hours to Portland to try it at rouge's brew pub.
I couldn't finish it.
The other beers were good and our other stops were good so between that and satisfying our curiosity it was still a worth while trip.
Mumbly said:For our smoked bacon porter we use a good quality bacon, it is from a local butcher. It is a lean salt cured shoulder cut bacon. The key is as little fat as possible. We then bake the bacon @350 on parchment paper to suck up the grease. Then the bacon is added to the secondary. 1lb uncooked per 5 gallons add a nice subtle bacon flavor.
Ha, i couldnt finish it either. I let the rest go flat and used it in my pancake batter the next day.

but very interested to try doing this myself
The next time I went to a Rouge brew pub they had another Voodoo beer.
Banana peanut butter? I don't remember but this time the bartender gave us each one of the sample glasses. Not good. Pissed off one of the bartenders in there good while I being me. By accident. She ignored us the rest of the night.
I've come to the conclusion that Rouge brew pubs aren't worth the effort.
They range from strange and nasty beer to pretty good. Above average in fact. Great seems to elude them though. They do charge like it's great.
