Well we started in on working on our brew stand so the beers we had in the fermenter just aged We just kegged one of the batches and will be tasting it this afternoon.

My brewing partner send me this teaser lastnight, its a little darker then I wanted but lets see how the flavor and body turned out..

Well first I have to say I am impressed. Three days after I posted this Stones Golden Stout Master of Disguise was released. This really reminds me of that beer dare I say a little better? One BIG issue is the body, we had a issues with our system and getting to boil fast and we were not mashing out. This continued the conversion and thinned out the beer I believe. A couple of tweaks to the body and sharpen up the flavor with a yeast change should do the trick but this is in ballpark for sure.
