This is my first normal dry stout. Yeah, it took 65-odd batches to get to a normal dry stout, and tasting this, I can't believe I waited this long. Holy hell, this is one of the best! I never thought it'd be this hard to strike a balance with stout, but it certainly is. I'm loving having a low-alcohol stout that's all roasty and has that new-rubber thing that I always smell during a dark mash but rarely follows through. It's that balance point...:D
