quick turnaround brew

[new2brew1221]

I am currently 1/2 through my keg of a chocolate porter, everyone loves it, and am wandering what other types of beer have a fairly quick turnaround. Since i have started sharing with co-workers, the keg just doesn't go as far. I was thinking of an oaked porter, but don't know if 3 weeks would be long enough for it to develop the flavors. Coffee, honey, oak and spices have been suggested at work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Do a coffee stout?

Do something easy for your fast beer while you wait on something better. I am ageing some coffee stout and drinking a brown ale.

Trying to get something really quick for Xmas, I did a cream of 3 crops knock off - 2 weeks in primary and put on gas tonight, could drink this weekend.

Something like an oaked porter sounds like it could use some age.

From your flavor ideas - do a pale ale or brown and spice / honey addition.

I suggest something hoppy. Like an pale ale or IPA. Dry hop at about ten days and keg 7-10 days after that. I have an IPA going right now that will be bottled in two weeks and most likely drinkable in 3.

Wheat beers go pretty quick. I brewed a German heff, left it in the primary for 10 days, bottled it and it was carb'd and ready 4 days later. My wire even drank 3 of them! I would be careful about dry-hopping longer 7 days. The hops can develop a soggy / swampy flavor if left wet for too long.

I always find hoppy go fast. I find them better when they're fresh. I like to age my stouts, porters, brown etc. for example, my brown is good after it's taken a couple weeks to carb in the keg but it's just down right delicious if I let it sit in the keg for longer.
