After close to 2 years of brewing and a lot more drinking I have always stuck clear of stouts as I thought I didn't like them. Reason being I had only tried guiness which I was never a fan of.
however I have tried a few commercial stouts in the last few weeks, cascade and carbine and I was quite surprised at how much I enjoyed them and now I would like to make one myself.
So I am asking 2 questions;
1. what type of stout are these brews? (dry, american, sweet etc etc)
2. does anyone have a simple AG recipe for something similar to cascade stout?
I suppose I should go and try some more stouts now I have a taste for them but at the moment I was pretty happy with the flavour of cascase stout...

I haven't tried that one Sluggerdog, so sorry, can't help - but give the youngs double choclate stout a go - YUM :chug:
Cheers Ross

It must be a personal taste Ross, but I think the Youngs Double Chocolate is quite ordinary (did the Pliny turn up?). SD I haven't tried the Cascade Stout, but here's my house stout, a little different with the wheat, but at close to 9% this one rocks. Will do again in the next few weeks ready for winter.
Cheers.
