Nothing to rival Nat King Cole Porter, though.

No.19 Imperial Stout (Wrist-Thick Stout)
6kg liquid black malt
1kg liquid light malt
850g crystal malt
330g roast malt
270g chocolate malt
180g roast barley
2 dessertspoons calcium carbonate (!!)
150g Pride of Ringwood hop flowers (9.5%AA)
20g Progress hop pellets (6%AA)
OG: 1089 FG: 1031 ALC/VOL: 8.2 %
It was bottled in March 1998 and we still have a few bottles left. Still drinking nicely, too.

Yep, that'd be it. If I was making this again and with the benefit of hindsight and greater general brewing knowledge, I'd probably bitter with something other than PoR, round the grain amounts up to the nearest 50g and drop the calcium carbonate. The Coopers yeast seemed to work OK, but given the high OG I'd be tempted to go with a liquid yeast that can chew through all those sugars. Plus, you then won't have to worry about the red wine yeastemnpaul wrote:I made a copy of Geoff's no. 94 Enter the Dragon Stout, but since I used molasses sugar instead of dark brown sugar I saw fit to call it Enter the Wyvern Stout.

It's an English Special Bitter which is now known as "The Battle Of Britain."
