Recently I have come to the conclusion that I really don't care for roasted malts of any kind.
I would always drink a stout if offered one but I would never want a second. I thought it was just because they are "heavier flavor" but after trying to drink 4-5 Irish Stouts (only 4.5% abv) in a row on St. Paddy's Day...I felt like I was going to puke! Even smelling it made me sick.
I believe the reason is that the burnt flavors of roasted malt reminds me of 2 things I detest: 1. Cigarette smoke 2. Coffee
Anyone else not care for roasted malts?
I'm going to concentrate on my Pale Ale and blonde recipes for awhile and maybe I'll come back to stouts/porters next winter.
