That's a good story. I mean, I'm sorry to hear about the beer and all, but that's the name of the game :) For a nice strong stout, I recommend a whiskey stout recipe. A friend made one a while back that was very drinkable.

My last homebrew was many years ago. I always like strong stouts, so I decided to make the strongest stout imaginable. I skipped anything that might dilute the flavor and just used pure chocalate malt, and lots of it.
The beer turned out to be incredibly strong in flavor, basically undrinkable, and really, almost chewable. It also had a ton of sugar left in it when I bottled it. So it continued to ferment in the bottle.
When you would open one of the 750ml bottles, it would spout brown foam 0.5m high for a couple of seconds, emptying about half of the bottle. A couple shot off on their own...

Since we're still talking about beers, I want to ask if there's any pd'ers out there who homebrew? It is a favorite hobby of mine, though I am not able to make a batch very often. I have on a couple occaisions made an incredibly strong ale, not fit for human consumption, including one stout that is leftover from spring.
