Notes:
------
OG: 1.056, FG: 1.022
Not too happy with FG but the fact it's a stout is not that big a deal to me.
This was a funny beer. Some days I felt it tasted very good, some days it tasted ok.
I think it tasted a bit better, smoother when served slightly cooler than cellar temp. (8C-10C)
Guys from the club tried it at a meeting and had favorable reviews.
However, I'm not sure I would make it again.
