Steel, this beer is getting better as it sits in the keg. If it was infected, I must have caught it and its been held at bay with the beer being in the keg at the lower temps and purged of oxygen.
Funny story, I had a friend come over this weekend who boasting about Guinness and how "stout" and "strong" it is when we were talking about homebrew vs commercial beer..
I laughed and gave him a glass of this porter and it totally blew him away. He called me back later and said the Guinness he was drinking at the house is just not the same anymore and tasted "watered down" compared to that porter I gave him and then he asked if he could buy some of the porter from me.


Another one coverted to the homebrew side of the force.

@unionrdr , just to follow up, Amazon has the HP on sale for $199.19. Ordered mine on Friday, it showed up today. Easy set up and already printed a set of labels on it!

Thanks. I could really use a new printer, especially that one!

An update on my 10gal batch, a month later in the kegs and the beer is still getting better and better. I was at the beach this week and had a chance to drink a left hand milk stout which I thought was really good, but after getting back home and pulling another pint of this one, I actually prefer this beer and was amazed at just how much better its coming along sitting in the keg. The creamy chocolate, coffee and toffee notes are starting to meld together nicely.

Great beer and highly recommended!
