i felt an overwhelming need that i'm sure most homebrewers feel every so often.the need to brew a beer that has the same coloring and consistancy of used motor oil, not the most pleasant way to describe this amazing addition to the racks of my home brewery but the rich smooth taste of this heavy black stout will defy contempery describcion. i know the choice of yeast seems strange but who ever said home brewing was about limitation?
