Off Season Stout
The summer windsurfing season is over, so now it's time to just sit back on a cold winter's day and enjoy an awesome Stout on the nitrogen tap. Special thanks to Tim for helping me with the recipe.

| Tasting: | This is an awesome stout recipe. It is smooth an chocolaty instead of having a heavily roasted (coffee) taste. Add the nitro tap to it and all of our guests for our Christmas Eve party could not say enough good things about it. This will be a recipe that I come back to again and again. | |||||||
