Cherry Stout
I make this every year for x-mas gifts and it is much anticipated by all who get some. I add cherry flavoring after fermentation. I've used cherries in the boil as well in the past; they both work fine. For those of you who like more balance, you might want to add more hops and shoot for a higher finnished gravity. I use Amarillo(8.9) rather than bullion, they just didn't list them on the site. Enjoy!
