Imperial Stout question... Made one about 6 months ago. It was desperately green at first and it's coming into it's own as time passes. However, despite 7% roasted barley, chocolate wheat malt (4%) and de-bittered black malt (4%) it's almost completely lacking that roast character. Other malts: 67% Maris Otter, 4% Aromatic, 4% Red Malt, 4% Pale Wheat Malt, 3% Special B, 2% Caramel Wheat, and 2% Biscuit. 1oz Pacific Gem at 60 min and 1oz Pacific Jade at 10min. Dry English Ale yeast starter.. 1.10 OG and 1.022 FG for a 10.5% ABV. Is it possible that will eventually come out with yet more time? It is thick and luscious and black as night with a terrific dark beige creamy head, however just don't taste any roast.
