First stout, looking for a good recipe (extract)

[brew2enjoy]

As the title says I would like to try a stout. I am fairly new when it comes to stouts. I don't really care for Guinnes as it just seems bland to me. I wouldn't have even considered brewing a stout until last week when I tried another homebrewers "irish stout". I don't know anything about the recipe but I liked it. The main thing I liked about it is that it actually had a slight hop character to it, which I didn't thing was normal for a stout. With that in mind, lets hear what you have! I only brew extract right now so keep that in mind.

Look in the recipe section for an american stout, they tend to have more hop character than others.

All my recipes are at home but check the recipe section of this forum. If you like a hopier stout look for a Amercian style stout. "Irish stout" is usually a dry style stout with a lower ABV, like a session beer (Just like Guinness) Happy hunting.
