Good, but very hot; too hot for SWMBO who can handle the Westbrook version.

One of the best beers I've ever brewed was a clone (their recipe) of He'Brew Sweet Sixteen: 16 grains, 16 hops, 16% ABV. That said, most commercial big brews are boozy above 10%. IMO, I don't think there is an ideal ABV for a "big beer" any more than there is an ideal ABV for brew is general. It...

My experimental slot.

May favorite beer is Redhood Double Black Stout. Bourbon beers can be very good (Avery Tweak). But when the coffee fights with the base beer, and the bourbon becomes boozy, then they are among my least favorite beers. But because they are often high ABV, they have high Untappd global ratings...

1) Don't let the capercaillie keep you down. 2) Get rid of my vote for 2%. Lower it to: AHS Belhaven Wee Heavy I haven't brewed the Wee Heavy, but I did brew the AHS Belhaven Scottish Ale, and it did very well in a side-by-side.

My brew queue: Alternate between Drom John and SWMBO's choice. Drom John queue: Not ESB/IPA; IPA; Experimental; ESB My IPAs alternate between Leftovers IPA and Commercial Clone IPA. My ESB alternate between Leftovers ESB and Redhook ESB changing one ingredient (IOW a half-ass SMaSH), I've...

1) Natty Bo (National Bohemian) (nostalgia, even though the dominate box lacrosse team in my league was National Bohemian) 2) Corona (I've had many worse expensive beers, but this deliberate skunker is the worst of the cheap)

Last bottle Saturday. This aged very well.

Seattle will pick players with the identical rules that Vegas did except ... instead of one player from every team, it's one player from every team except the previous expansion team ... Vegas.

SWMBO's choice from Communism, Atheism, Free Lunch, p.162. First time using Carafa II Dehusked, star anise, and licorice root. First taste: 2 October 2021.

So, not a substitute for a midrange crystal, but it would still make beer. Try it.

This is my fourth variant of Redhook ESB. I previously brewed a clone. Then 16 brews later I substituted the Pale Ale malt and Amber LME with Munich. Another 16 brews later I substituted with Maris Otter. The third time was Vienna. This time is Pilsen Recipe Type: Partial something Style: ESB...

Sixteen brews later, Redhook ESB V with Pilsen base malt.

My initial webform query: "SWMBO wants me to attempt a St. Klippenstein clone, but I found the information daunting. Is there any base malt? Can you advise?" The reply: Good morning, John! Thanks very much for reaching out to Allagash Brewing and for your interest in obtaining some...

I almost switched this to picture on the Smuttynose site of Bernie outside of the brewery.
