Hello All, First of all... to get this out of the way, yes... I'm a Beer Snob, Coffee Snob.
I prefer to make my beers without seasonings, additions, etc. And I like the taste of them that way.
But.....
I do attend Beer Festivals and sample the offerings which are prepared... The majority, when they state a flavor...(raspberry, chocolate, clove, etc...), are very much in your face flavors. I prefer to have to find the flavor, more modesty or complex.
Everyone has their own preferences, and I respect that ... so I don't critique the beers I sample or taste (unless asked to do so)
Now, I like everything from Pilsners to Imperial Stouts.
and being where I am, and a home brewer.. I don't get out to taste commercial beers much... so I am asking for some input from you all, whom may have tasted the newer beers, and my question is concerning the 'Golden Stouts'.
What is your impression and idea of the 'Light colored' stouts?
considering that I brew as well as I roast my own coffee.... it should be a natural for me to make this 'style'... but I am hesitant to do so just because of my preference of trying to stay Purist to the ingredients.... Barley, Wheat, etc..
I am considering making one to see what I think, but am welcoming others input on the subject prior to jumping in with both feet..
Thanks a lot to you all!! (in advance)
