I don't know if you guys have tried this recipe, but it is the bomb diggity.
It is based on the recipe in Papazain's book with a few differences.
Cherry Stout
Recipe Type: Extract
Batch Size (Gallons): 5
Original Gravity: 1.071
Final Gravity: 1.019
Boiling Time (Minutes): 60
8lb dark LME
1lb Crystal malt
.5lb roasted barley
.5 black patent malt
1.5 oz Northern brewer @ 60 min
.5 oz willamette finishing
4tsp gypsum
Whirlfloc
Safale us-05
3 lbs sour cherries
3 lbs sweet black cherries both @ 10 min
Man oh man. This thing was pretty tasty a few months ago and I ended up drinking most of it within a month of bottling. Just found a couple bottles hiding the other night and 2 months later this stuff is incredible. By far the best beer I have ever brewed and probably one of the best stouts I have ever had. Has an amazing cherry aroma and a great little bit of sour cherry kick that is so good with that roastiness.
If you haven't ever tried it give it a shot!
