Brewed this from BYO 250 Classic Clones Recipe mag. Kegged today. Recipe OG and FG were 1.070 and 1.014. I measured 1.068 and 1.013. Not too far off. While I am not complaining, this was, I thought, a sweet stout. I took another FG reading while kegging to verify last measurement and it was still 1.013. Of course I tasted it. It was very obviously coffee and somewhat dry. I am sure it is going to be quite good after carbing, but it ain't a clone. If I had enough experience with recipes I might have expected this outcome from the reported FG and from the 9.5 oz of corn sugar. Again, not complaining, but if you use the recipe from this book, don't expect a clone. I bought two bottles of this to check against. One I tried before brewing, the other I have saved for a one on one comparison. Anyway, this is the recipe I used. Hops were rounded off slightly, grain bill and corn sugar were exactly followed.
