A buddy of mine made this beer. It is what he calling a Vietnamese stout. Something to do with the spices. But let’s not ahead of ourselves.. let drink this.

Not really a review today in a normal sense. Just a suggestion for you all out there.
Those of you who may have had a Michelada or those who do Clamato and beer… How many of you are putting that Clamato in a stout or porter?
Well let me be the one to say,,, its also fantastic! The salty and spice and lime just work incredibly well with these roasty beers. It’s like a faux Oyster stout if you will.
Go on,,, try one today!

I think this is the 4th version of Jagged now. I’m still trying to get a rough, roasty, bitter stout. But all I keep getting is smooth, chocolat-y stouts… That everyone loves.
Yes they are great beers, but I’m looking for something… Jagged.
I know it’s my water. I’ve tried different profiles meant for stouts, but they still come out smooth as a babys ass. 3 lbs of roast in a 5 gallon batch should give some sort of bite.
This batch was my water with baking soda in the mash. It left me with a decent body stout.. but still not jagged. It took 40 points at the midwinter homebrew comp which is a big national contest.. so it almost made me keep it where it is…but I want a rough one.
Think the next one I’ll start using some distilled water to see if that helps. But till then I’ll enjoy this one.

I need to get a few beers made soon. I seemed to have gotten far behind and have started to run extremely low on beers. That’s not good going into fall and winter. (It in fact just snowed a bit today!)
So this first one is a beer that I have brewed for a beerfest or homebrew showcase event, and I just loved this beer.
Jagged: Forign Extra Stout. It was good, but I also think I could improve it.
This post is going to be my notes and thoughts that I normally jot down for all of my beers.
This is very helpful for me because while yes I tend to brew alot of repeat beers, I am also very spontaneous with them at the same time. Substituting things, adding things, correcting things on the fly. So I need to keep track of everything along the way or by…
