Hot Chocolate Porter
Part of our aphrodisiac Valentine’s beer recipe round-up. This recipe is a little sweet and a little spicy, just the way many of us like it.
Strawberry-Chocolate Stout
Recipe submitted to BYO by Mike Moreken. A strawberry, cherry and chocolate infusion along with some lactose, provide a soft character to this dessert-like stout.
Brasserie à Vapeur’s Saison de Pipaix clone
Vapeur’s saison is orange/amber, darker than most saisons. It is also more heavily spiced than other saisons. A slight tartness, relatively low ABV (as Belgian beers go) and dry finish keep the beer eminently quaffable.
Tudor Beer
Recipe author Terry Foster comments on his Tudor Beer, “Overall, it was a good crisp, fresh-tasting session beer, resembling a low-hopped version of an English summer ale. This is not so surprising when you consider that in 1503 this beer would have been in competition with the maltier and probably sweeter unhopped ale.”

El Camino (Un)Real Black Ale clone
Smuttynose Brewing Company’s Noonan clone
Many consider Greg Noonan and his Vermont Pub and Brewery as the birthplace of the modern day black IPA. Here is their tribute recipe to the Vermont Pub and Brewery’s Black Watch, black IPA, a truly unique beer.
Goose Island’s Honkers Ale clone
Inspired by visits to English country pubs, Honker’s Ale combines a spicy hop aroma with a rich malt middle to create a perfectly balanced beer. Immensely drinkable, Honker’s Ale is not only a beer drinkers can trust but one they’ll look forward to.
Redhook Ale Brewery’s Redhook ESB clone
This Extra Special Bitter is a deep copper-orange color, with an off-white, creamy head. The aroma is a judicious blend of fruity hops and toasted malt. Medium in body, it is full and round, with a nice blend of malt balanced with gentle hop character. Redhook ESB ends with a sweet malt finish.
Brooklyn Pennant Pale Ale ’55 clone
Pennant is a well-crafted pale ale brewed as a tribute to Brooklyn’s world champion baseball team of 1955. (That would be the Dodgers, who actually beat the Yanks in that crosstown series.)
Pennant pours with a dense light-beige head that sits on a chestnut-colored beer. The aroma is complex and malty, with a hint of freshly baked bread. The full malt flavor is balanced with a clean hop background. English hops provide a moderate bitterness that complements the smooth mouthfeel. The aftertaste is dry with a hint of hops.
Hop Til You Drop California Common Beer
Though not super hoppy, California Common is a style that shows off the aromatic power of homegrown hops very nicely.
