Looking for a great low ABV Dry Stout

[jcole]

#2: Regarding your LHBS guy telling you the recipe was too light for the style: Dry Stout is one of the most commonly misunderstood beer... Many mis-judge from the color that it must be very strong and high in alcool, while it is one of the weakest beer.. (Guinness has 1.038 OG)... Most recipe you will find for "Dry Stout" or "Guinness Clone" are way to strong..

Agreed. That is one of the reasons why I took the time to research the recipe. Most of the stout recipes I was finding all seemed to be too strong or heavy for what I was looking for.

Its looks like you already made you decision, but the Ó Flannagáin Standard is simple and fantastic.

Good guy too, so that helps

That looks like a great beer. I'll probably have to give it a shot down the road. Thanks!

Kudos for doing your homework on the research part!
