Do you have the meat product in the US.I thought the Vikings brought it to AEngleland. Raping and pillaging was bad Spam was their worst crime. Although German sausage is the worst. 🤣🤣
Today I am brewing a Black Cab (London Taxi) Stout
3600g Maris Otter
300g Chocolate malt
200g Dark Crystal Malt
200g Naked Oats
150g Roasted Barley
60 m mash at 67C
24g Admiral at 60 minutes
35g First Gold at 15 minutes
Nottingham style yeast.
Stout is a great beer brewed all over the world from Africa, West Indies, British Isles, USA, Belgium and Far East. Porter is a poor predecessor and Mild is awful. In the UK Mild was where the slops (leftover beer) went along with cigarette ash.
For me both Mild and Porter are very poor examples of British beers. I have never brew either and they are styles from yester year when male drinkers wore flat caps and bred whippets. Bitter a wonderful beer is struggling to compete with lager and IPA’s. Trends change.
