    Black Diamond Stout

    Brewing this sometime this weekend, which means it should be ready to drink just in time for St. Patty’s Day.  It’s based on a Guinness recipe but I attempted to go for something a little less chocolatey and a little more “roasty”.  I’ve been on a hot streak lately with making good brews… my Orchard Wit turned out very good, even if it’s not very “orchardy”.  It’s been a long time since I’ve tried a stout so I’ve got high hopes.  I’ll be following this brew up with a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale kit from Austin Homebrew Supply.
