(This isn't my recipe it's Clibit's from his Clibit Brewday thread)
 
Ok I had a first taste of this a couple of days ago and I can seriously recommend this recipe, it's a beautiful, smooth stout. Really drinkable, great malt flavours, the Special B adds some nice variety. If you're looking for a new stout recipe, give this one a go.
 
Just drinking one of these now. What a great recipe. Only thing I did differently was use CML pale yeast instead of US-05. I like how the recipe layers the different flavours from the different levels of kilning. If a more characterful yeast were used, it would get muddled and be too much, but the clean yeast steps aside to really showcase the malt. Kind of reminds me of Dogma from BrewDog, but sessionable. Nom nom nom. I think I'll crack another one open.

Hi all
done 2 of these now both taste beautiful and pour with a good head but my problem is the head dissipates to nothing after about 5 minuets both batches 10L &15L have had 100g flaked barley just opened one tonight after 1 month in the bottle but still flat after 5 mins in the glass any thoughts as to what I am doing wrong Ta
 
Did this recipe recently and have almost finished force carbing and conditioning it.
I mashed mine lower at 64-65 as I didn't want a heavy stout this time (my last one was far too sweet) and got it down to 1.008.

I've had a few "tasters" over the weekend, and it's a delicious recipe. I'm liking it on the drier side in this heat, very refreshing.
I had a Budvar dark lager at my local on Saturday, and actually thought they were very similar.

I've been wanting to have a good porter/stout base with which I can experiment with, and this may be the one.

Carapils for good head retention and body, check your carbonation, if all else fails give it a squirt with a syringe.:beer1:

If you use a dishwasher, try rinse your beerglasses manually afterwards, might just be residual washingliquid inhibiting foamformation. Or wash your glasses by hand and rinse them well in lukewarm water.
