Hey guys,
Generally if there's a particular style you're looking for, there's plenty of info on the style and potential recipes.
But one thing I've found hard is working backwards. I was just thinking if this thread takes off, it may be a great resource for people.
For example, what would I call a beer that's quite dark, getting towards stout colour and maltiness, but significantly missing the burnt/roasted taste? Highly hopped, but still relatively modest in comparison to the strong maltiness, like say 35 to 40 IBU's??
This is just something I've been thinking about and if we get a bit of a roll on, it might be really useful. I've found it really hard to translate what I taste to talking about it on here, sometimes, perhaps others have too.
Haha, I reckon this'll go straight to the bottom of the list, but if it works, it might be quite helpful.
