CS5 - Hobs of Hell
I thought this was a porter, but have been told (after the labels were printed) that it's more of a stout. I can't tell the difference anyway, so what they hey.
Maris Otter 76%
Munich 15%
Pale Chocolate 4%
Chocolate malt 4%
Black Patent 4%
Medium Crystal 4%
41 IBU NZ Cascade @ 60min
18 IBU NZ Goldings @ 30min
5 IBU NZ Goldings @ 10min
Fermented with Nottingham this time (usually S-04).
Think it was OG 1.066, FG 1.016 - finished a little sweeter than planned anyway, but the hops help hold it up (and since it's bottle conditioned the white sugar has dried it a tiny bit too). Being bottle conditioned, it'll need a day in the fridge before you drink it...
Brewed in the middle of March, so it's got a good bit of condition on it now.
Look forward to everyone's thoughts.

Cheers for the feedback guys, glad to hear it's gone down well.
Jacko: the late hops was 75g at 10min (so 1g/l). I'm not sure I'd increase it though - I like that this beer is less about the hops than most of the other ones I brew, gives me a bit of variation in what's coming through the fridge. -

Pours a deep black with a thick tan head. Smoky, roasty coffee notes on the nose. Smoky roastiness goes well with a slight toffee malt sweetness from the crystal that gets swallowed by a firm bitterness and a dry finish. The high carb robs a bit of the mouthfeel for me.
Overall a really nice, enjoyable pint. Well brewed! Thanks vdog. -
