Another review
But this time, a truly important one:
Jay,
I finally tried the Mocha Stout tonight and it was amazing. It reminds me of a stout I loved at a local brew-pub/restaurant in Bloomington; Lenny's.
Thank you so much for sharing!!
Have a great weekend.
Jeremy
Not to be egotistical, but this mocha stout is probably the best beer I've ever made. I'm going to go have one.
Beer brewing and composition are a lot alike. The creation of the product takes a while, things have to sit and ferment for a while, and you never know if what you made is truly successful until you consume it a few times.
Whoa, deep thoughts. I should have a beer...
