Before I started my new job, I brewed a beer. Called it the Free Man Stout as a way to celebrate my time unemployed. It has a chocolate liquor nose but with a nice level of carbonation, the beer feels pretty light. I did well with this one.

Thanks! I’m glad you’re enjoying the blog.
FYI, I used Wyeast 1272-an American Ale yeast-for this beer. Let me know if you try it-I’d be interested to hear if it works for you.
