Yep, there's something about homebrew stout that blows our famous Irish import into the weeds. Im coming to the end of my "Night Shift" Stout now (Youngs Harvest stout, made with 500/250/500g of H&B Malt, Dark DME and H&B Molasses and the "ditch" methodology, but bottled) and it'll be a sad farewell to the last bottle - its been epic ! (on consideration, up with the best kits I've made easily)
