Foreign Extra Stout Recipe and Tasting - Homebrew Jar of Destiny

This week John's Foreign Extra Stout!

We have a real treat this week. If you're looking for a drinkable, slightly higher ABV stout for the colder winter months... brew this recipe.

John's latest Jar of Destiny pick came out smooth and tasty. It has just the right balance of Roast, Chocolate and sweetness.

Watch through this whole video because towards the end we discuss English Malts, Roasted and Crystal, and their usage and balance in making great English style beers.
