Re: Cayenne Spiced Stout
Pulling this from the advent submission, and using my Berliner instead. I'm thinking most people would enjoy the Berliner more - most of people who have tried the stout found it too spicy.

"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Re: Cayenne Spiced Stout
I'll have a few bottles of this with me at the exchange. Not enough to go around, but if someone really wanted to try it, let me know.

Re: Cayenne Spiced Stout
Thanks fellas. Overall I'm happy with it, but do find it has more spice than I'd like. If I brewed it again, I'd probably try half the amount of cayenne to see how that tastes.
