So, I will first off say that I am not a Stout drinker, never have been (never found one I liked). So.... a few weeks ago I went to the local pub that also brews their own beer, and tried their signature stout, since everyone rages about it. It was unfreakinbelieveable.
It's so hard to explain, but the taste has a nice strong taste, a good chocolate aroma, with an excellent coffee aftertaste.
I want to try something similar, and I have no idea where to start. I'm still not ready to do All-Grain as I just don't have the equipment. I'm willing to do a partial mash, and I've already done the steeping thing.
What extracts or specialty grains should I start looking for? In a Stout like this, is there actual coffee in it, or is that a taste from the grains?
Please help this Ale guy out!!
Thanks!
