Ethiopian T’ej
While this is technically a braggot, mead brewed with grain malt, the addition of the Gesho adds the characteristic flavors of an Ethiopian T’ej.
Rastaman Stout
Loosely based on Miles Davis Bitches’ Brew by Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, Rastaman Stout is part imperial stout, part Ethiopian T’ej. A fun recipe for those looking to trying something unique.

John Palmer opens his recipe book to provide a clean, albeit unique, oat bock recipe.

Duncan Hills Brutal Coffee Porter
Would you like a smooth-drinking porter with subtle coffee notes layered in between the roasted grain aromas? Then don’t even look at this recipe. If you like your coffee black, your porter robust and your death metal Swedish, then this your beer.
Gordon Strong’s London Porter
This recipe took first place at the SODZ British Beer Festival, and is fairly straightforward. It is meant to be in the style of Fuller’s London Porter (my personal favorite), with brown malt being the key flavor ingredient. It was entered in the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) Brown Porter category.
Gordon Strong’s American Robust Porter
This is a more modern take on an American robust porter, although it probably falls in between the BJCP Brown Porter and Robust Porter categories. Note the general similarity with the second recipe in this collection. It also is a nice base beer for a smoked porter; add a half pound of German rauchmalz and lower the bitterness to about 25 IBUs. For a more ‘robust’ American version, double the black malt, add 2 more pounds (0.9 kg) of base malt, and increase the late hops.
