Suspicious Stout lives

Suspiciously not stout-like in appearance but mighty tasty nonetheless. All the stats listed remain (62 IBU, 4.9% ABV, 23 SRM) but now the beer has bubbles, it’s cold, and lives in a fridge. Suspicious Stout says hello to your mouth with chocolate, caramel, just the right amount of oatmeal, and the spicy/sweet hint of toasted fenugreek. Nugget and Fuggles bring the IBU. The stout is a little on the light side (23 SRM) and has the mouth-feel of more of a brown ale than a true stout but overall the Brewer and the regulars here at Whirly Bird Brewing didn’t complain much.

The Stout Gets Bubbles

The new stout from Whirly Bird has got some alcohol in it and is now growing bubbles in its new 12oz homes. The yeast finished primary fermentation on Saturday and we stuck it in 48x12oz bottles. This is the second time we’ve added priming sugar as a batch instead of individually to each bottle so hopefully we have the same, consistent carbonation that we had last time.

Full details to follow on the beer once the finished product makes it into my belly but as of now it’s looking like an atypical 23 SRM, 62 IBU, 4.9% ABV stout of sorts. Initial taste from the carboy on bottling day seem promising.
