Idk bout the coloration, but long as the taste is close (and mouthfeel!) then I will be happy. Chose to brew this to break in my new Guinness tap and faucet on my keezer! Granted I dont have nitro yet but I still got a month or so, and even then C02 wont be terrible.
As for my batch: Mashed at 150.6 for an hr, got a grav reading spot on with what I was expecting (1.045, but I reduced the amount of pale malt by just a bit, evening it at exactly 65:25:10 ratio). Ground the **** outta the roasted barley- made it into flour pretty much and from the boil got a nice roasted/chocolate smell. Used 1.4 oz of EKG for 60 min @ 7.2% AA. Total boil time was 60 min, putting the soured Guinness Extra Stout in at flameout. Cooling down to pitch right now while rehydrating yeasties. Already looking forward to this one!
