I've been working on this recipe for a fair while and think I've got it about right.

I was looking for a balanced stout with a good amount of malt behind it, hence the munich which is about right - next time I might increase it a tiny bit more though. I went with half each black malt and roast barley and this helped a lot with balance. It has a good mix of chocolate, dark malt and roastiness and goes down pretty easy with the oats. Everyone who has tried it has liked it, the name came because my mum wanted a batch brewed up for Xmas after she tried some so I made some fancy labels up for the bottles with a pic of her Alpacas on it.

I like using cascade in a stout because I think the hint of citrus comes through and works well - I first wort hop with the cascade. Hops are less important than the malt though so they could be replaced with whatever.
