Strong, black, and rich. Just what you've been lusting after. ;) I'd send you beer, but mine are all pale, sour, and dry like me.

It's damn delicious!

Well you don't know beer at all sir call a doctor your palette is broken! :-D

LOL Been accused of that before. :D

I'm fairly picky when it comes to stouts. Not a huge fan of them, though I do like some. DFH chicory stout is my fave and I make a honey oatmeal stout that is based off of John Palmer's Mill Run Stout recipe that I really love.
 
I have to ask an off topic question. If I stop fermentation early on a beer by cold crashing it will I get bottle bombs when I bottle? It was recommended that I pitch a red wine yeast to my stout because we think it's acidic due to almost 3 lbs of grain that is high in acidity. The yeast may not be surviving. That said, to avoid a dry stout they said pitch it, give it a couple of days and then cold crash but I am unsure if he knew I bottled. I suddenly realized I could have an issue when I bottle and let carb up.

You will get bottle bombs. Fridge temps slow down fermentation a great deal, they don't stop it. Fermentation stops when you run out of sugar, your yeast reaches it's alcohol tolerance, or you kill the yeast. There are really only two reliable ways to kill the yeast. Pasteurization, and potassium metabisulfite.
 
I remember the first time I had this I thought it was amazing, but now it just seems average. I don't drink too many regular IPA's anymore. I usually need a double or Imperial to get my hop fix. Hi, my name's Nic, and I'm a hop addict...
