Recipes
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.
Anderson Valley Brewing Co.’s Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout clone
Anderson Valley describes Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout with “aromas of freshly baked bread, espresso, and dried cherries meld seamlessly with rich toffee flavors and a creamy mouthfeel.”
Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales: Biere de Mars clone

Sun King Brewing Company: Tequila Barrel-Aged Fistful of Hops clone
“Fistful of Hops is a quarterly rotating seasonal IPA, which means every three months the hops change. We usually combine two to three varieties of hops together for each new release. The same varieties and proportion of hops are used all the way through the recipe including dry hopping.” – Dave Colt, Sun King Brewery
Perennial Artisan Ales’ Devil’s Heart of Gold clone
This is a recipe for Devil’s Heart of Gold, a whiskey barrel–aged wheat wine. The base beer, Heart of Gold, won a silver medal at the Great American Beer Festival in 2012.

This is an English-style barleywine brewed once each year and then aged in oak barrels several months before being released each fall.
Jester King Brewery: Das Uberkind clone
“Das Uberkind is our most used and versatile barrel-aged beer. We blend it with fresh, hoppy beer to make Das Wunderkind! We use it as the base beer for most of our fruit refermentation beers, and we also package it as a standalone beer.” – Garrett Cromwell, Head Brewer, Jester King Brewery
