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…

I won a pound of this Perla Negra roast grain a few weeks back so I figured I’d use it all in one blast to see what we get out of it. All of the descriptions I’ve seen on it seem to make it out to be a “softer” roast. One of the huskless roasts, […]

Homebrew Foreign Extra

Here at the local Homebrew shop drinking a local homebrewers stout.

I believe he called this a foreign extra stout. And will be poured from the tap.

Pours with a nice tall tan head. That seems to last for days.

Almost pure black. But a bit of Ruby high lights, but you really gotta look. Nice looking that’s for sure

Aromas deep chocolate with a light fresh bread thing going on. Not like yeast,, but baked bread. No roast in the aroma. Only the lightest hop aroma, but could be in my head. The chocolate really dominates here.

Light sour Tang with light roast taste. And I for one really like that. Still very chocolate but now the roast is starting to stand out, but nothing crazy like there should be in a foreign extra stout. Needs more black roast for sure.

A bit,, watery I think is the term I’m looking for, but still enough body for me. Could have a bit more bitterness because the alcohol feels pretty high. But it is totally fine where it is.

I am going to assume he chose to call this beer a forign extra because of the higher alcohol. But while I do like,, or even love this stout.. I would not go with foreign extra.

Exceptional beer here. If I was Untapping this I would go with 4/5. I want more.
