Watney’s Cream Stout clone
One of the classic cream stouts, Watney’s is no longer brewed, but you can still try to recreate that classic chocolate nose with creamy texture using this recipe.
Black Pearl Oyster Stout
Despite names like Fat Spider Ale, Turkey Stout and Black Kitty Brown, this was the first BYO recipe has ever featured animals as an ingredient — Black Pearl Oyster Stout. We’ve been lucky enough to taste this beer, brewed by Joe Walton and Jim Michalk, and it’s delicious. The beer has a complex dark grain character and a slightly silky mouthfeel. There’s no strong oyster flavor, but you may detect a slight salty/briney character. For best results, use hard water with a moderate to high level of carbonates.

Selin’s Grove Brewing Shade Mountain Stout clone
Shade Mountain Stout, which is 100% organic, definitely meets the style guidelines for a true oatmeal stout. The aroma exhibits roasted grain characters followed by coffee and chocolate notes. A rich, light brown head tops the nearly opaque liquid and holds all the way to the bottom of the glass. The flavor exhibits a smooth roast grainy profile combined with chocolate and a slight nuttiness. The high percentage of oats contributes to a full bodied mouthfeel and silky smoothness. A higher temperature and somewhat thick mash produces a slightly sweet finish. The one hop addition serves to be just enough to balance the residual sugars.
Kohl’s Pale Kellerbier
More hop presence than a Munich Helles and most often served relatively young and unfiltered in comparison to Pilsner, a Kellerbier can come in a Pale or Amber version. This version falls in the Pale variety. This recipe is a little stronger than a traditional Kellerbier, but the hops will provide a bright balance to the malt and alcohol.
Buzz’ard Double Chocolate Espresso Stout
by John Arthur and Glenn BurnSilver
Panther Pee
Homebrewers who attended the 1999 Dixie Cup — The Fred Files — know that “The beer is out there.” Don Sadja relates how he came up with his stupid idea. “I thought: Why not use a great imperial stout recipe as a base and do something stupid like add raspberry flavoring to it.” Apparently not so stupid, as it produced a very drinkable beer!
Flying Fish Brewery Farmhouse Summer Ale clone
Just a touch of sourness adds an extra crisp layer for this summer beer. The Styrian Golding hops provides a slight earthy and spicy character to the beer.
