Beer Style: Stout
Dirty Hands Brewing Co.’s Liberty Ship Stout clone
This beer has a nice bittersweet chocolate and coffee profile, with just enough hop presence to offset any cloying sweetness. Unfortunately Dirty Hands Brewing closed their doors in 2016, but their legacy can live on.
Green Leaf Brewing Co.’s Green Leaf Stout clone
With a dense tan head, Green Leaf Brewing’s Stout has a nose that exhibits notes of chocolate, coffee, and roasted malt. It’s heavy-bodied with a balance of sweetness and bitterness.
Golden Age Stout
Author Terry Foster offers up a classic stout recipe looking to focus on the Cluster hops profile while exhibiting a nice roast character.
C.H.A.O.S. County Brand Stout
Since our club are located one mile from ground zero of where all Bourbon County Brand Stout is produced (Goose Island’s Fulton & Wood Brewery, http://www.gooseisland.com/fulton-wood.html) it is only natural that we have a homebrew recipe of our own. This recipe has been tweaked over the last four years to produce phenomenal results . . . as long as O.G. is achieved!
Mitch’s Steele Magnolias Session Milk Stout
This milk stout recipe comes directly from Mitch Steele, Co-Founder of New Realm Brwery (Atlanta, Georgia) and former Brewmaster of Stone Brewing Co.
Wolaver’s Organic Oatmeal Stout clone
Wolaver’s describes its Oatmeal Stout as a “smooth-as-silk stout brimming with darkly roasted malts and rich notes of chocolate and coffee. A mocha-topped, black-as-night body gives way to a surprisingly smooth, full-bodied experience in this unfiltered offering.”
Summit Brewing Company’s Rebellion Foreign Extra Stout clone
This limited-time release foreign extra stout was brewed based loosely on a recipe for 1896 taken from the archives of an old Cork, Ireland brewery. For a base malt it uses Irish stout malt from the Malting Company of Ireland (also from Cork, Ireland).
Samuel Adams’ Cream Stout clone
This stout was designed as a traditional English sweet stout, with lots of rich, creamy, roasted character.
Ninkasi Brewing Co.’s Vanilla Oatis Oatmeal Stout clone
Ninkasi describes Vanilla Oatis Oatmeal Stout as, “Characterized by a roasted front flavor, smooth rich oats, a touch of chocolate flavor, and a rich vanilla complexity imparted by whole vanilla beans. To achieve this higher level of decadence, we added in whole vanilla beans to the final stage of conditioning — the same process we use to dry hop a beer. It is bigger than a traditional stout with more alcohol, body, and a touch more bitterness to keep it balanced.”
McMenamins Breweries: Terminator Stout clone
McMenamins describes Terminator Stout as having “a wide array of toasted, chocolate, nutty, and coffee-like flavors.”
Firestone Walker Brewing Co.’s Velvet Merlin clone
This seasonal oatmeal stout is named in honor of Firestone Walker’s Brewmaster Matt “Merlin” Brynildson, who earned the nickname because of his magical ability to rack up top honors at prestigious beer competitions. This is a rich beer, with dark chocolate and roasted coffee flavors. It boasts a truly creamy mouthfeel and dry finish.
Bluejacket’s Mexican Radio clone
A spiced stout brewed with oats and lactose, then finished with vanilla beans, ancho chili peppers, cinnamon sticks, and roasted caco nibs. A truly innovative stout.
