I tried the Wrasslers XXXX Stout at the Porterhouse brewpup in dublin and loved it. I thought it was a truly delicious stout, and when I found a bottle in Boston with the ingredients listed, (what kind of hops etc), I bought it and now this is my recipe based on that beer. I had no idea what their quantities or hop additions were, but I used their ingredients as a stepping stool to figuring out how to make a substantial stout with appropriate and plentiful hops. I have the finished product on tap now and this is an instant classic that I will be making again for sure. The original stout didn't include saaz, but I had some extra sitting around which fits into my basic mantra of more hops! Despite the ridiculous hop addition the beer is in no way overly bitter or hoppy. To my taste, its a pretty balanced stout. dark roasted malt is definitely the centerpiece but with enough hops to back it up. It's very thick and with big mouthfeel but isn't in any way syrupy. This beer came out exactly/better than I was hoping for.
