{"product_id":"recipe-kit-super-stout","title":"Recipe Kit Super Stout","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Super Stout is an original AHB recipe dating back 30 years and one of our most popular dark brews of all time. Smooth, black, rich and malty, with a moderate bitterness that enhances the dryness and the roasted malt flavours. A medium to full creamy body makes it superbly drinkable. It makes 21 litres.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat it is like to brew\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat sets the Super Stout apart is a small addition of liquorice extract, a warm, subtly sweet herbal note that rounds out the roast in a way nothing else quite does. Maltodextrin adds body and creaminess, and an English yeast contributes a quiet fruitiness behind the malt. After a few pints you understand why it has lasted 30 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy this kit works\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLiquorice extract for a warm, subtly sweet herbal note that rounds the roast\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMaltodextrin for a full, smooth, creamy body\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnglish yeast for a quiet fruitiness behind the malt\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA proven, 30-year original AHB recipe, ferments at room temperature\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen it makes sense\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA reliable choice when you want a smooth, full, classic dry stout with a bit of character.
