Steve and I racked the stout to secondary today. We measured the gravity at 1.025. Given our original gravity measurement of 1.06, it looks like we're on our way to an oatmeal stout with about 4.8% alcohol by volume. Not bad for the first time around. Here are our first impressions on this new recipe:
Aroma: Mellow, malty aroma.
Taste: Very low bitterness with a sweet (toffee-ish), malty finish.
Appearance: Overall clarity is excellent. Looks like the addition of whirlflock during the last 10 minutes of the boil paid off. Rich, dark coloration almost like blackstrap molasses.
Finish: Sweet, malty aftertaste.
Overall, we're pleased with the progress of the stout. I can't wait to get it in the fridge.
Prost!
