  NOTES:
*  Double stout beer -- I would not recommend making this as your first
beer, but if you are into brewing and like a strong stout, then give this
one a try. Don't be in a hurry to drink it, though, it really benefits from
a long aging. I got the original recipe from Peter Lester in
rec.food.drink, and formatted it for my local brewfriends. Then I thought
that the net at large might enjoy it, too, so here it is with some
additional notes from my experience at making it. Yield: Makes about 2
cases.
*  Lester's initial specific gravity was 1.086 and his final specific
gravity was 1.020 (alcohol about 8 percent). His fermentation time was 11
days (a slow batch).
My batch fermented in about a week (house temperature ranging between 60
and 68). It was barely drinkable after 6 weeks, but delicious after 3
months.  As far as I can tell, it's still getting better (a year later), so
try not to drink it all up right away.
*  Ingredient note:  I didn't know what a licorice stick was, until I asked
the clerk at my brewstore. The one he gave me was about 1/3 inch in
diameter and about 3 inches long. It was dark black, and not sweet to the
taste at all. It seems to be a standard brewing ingredient. Sorry I can't
be more specific about it.
