Coopers Stout

[AngelTearsOnMyTongue]

Despite my self imposed midweek beer ban, I just couldnt wait for the weekend and as we had a BBQ and Chiminea going tonight I thought I give the 3 Can stout a go.





Mmmmmmmmm.

It was christened Cofliq Imperial Stout (As I added some Coffee and Liqorice to it). Keeping in mind that I was really nervous that I would not like this. Its pretty bloody drinkable. I was also a bit worried that the Liqorice would be a bit overpowering and was pleasantly surprised that it was just a mild enhancement of the main taste. I was also surprised that although I added only about 50g of coffee (Hardley enough for a couple of strong cups), the flavour was very strong.

It was only bottled on the 20th Sept so there is still a lot of improvement I would expect.

Very Thick, good bitterness but not overpowering and all in all a great feed! Normally I am not a Stout drinker so I will be interested to see what a Stout fan thinks of it.

cheers

That looks deadset fantastic!

I've got a 3 canner in the planning stages at the moment. 2 cans of dark ale, and one of stout. Just thinking about steeping some grain and what hops to use.

Enjoy the wait as that Cofliq matures!

ATOMT,

Looks bloody good, what sort of Coffee did you add was it ground bean or instant?

If it was ground bean was it just the grind, or was it the extract after running through a coffee machine / plunger?

Sorry about the late reply JCG. I only noticed this today.

It was ground coffe straight from the freezer. Wt decided on what was left in the pack.

I had expected the liqorice and coffee to be too much but in the end it was not overpowering. Very nice.
