This is the last ever beer I made on the Robobrew before the divorce came through and I eloped with the Grainfather. This is supposed to be a session imperial stout, if such a thing exists. The plan was for it to come in under 7%, which isn't very sessionable I grant you but isn't 9%+ either. Didn't really go to plan. Yeast choice and mash temps didn't help. This is based on Greg Hughes recipe in the bible.
