My buddy from church has been very gracious to us this past year. I helped him install new lights in my house we bought in May, as well as new flooring in the bathroom, a new toilet, and a new sink. He cut some slots in my new kettle lids for my chiller to come through. He plumbed my utility sink in the brewhouse, and wants to weld me a 2 burner single tier brewstand. He hasn't asked for anything in return for his work. When he came to me and asked if I could brew him a beer for his wedding, of course I was up for it. I asked what type of beers they would like. They wanted something dark and malty. I bought an Oatmeal Stout, Milk Stout, American Stout, and a Belgian Dark Ale. We decided that we didn't want something too strong as we wanted people to have a couple pints and not get intoxicated, especially as the bulk of our church is going to be there including some that don't agree with us that alcohol is a gift from God for our enjoyment. After tasting the beers it was fairly unanimous that the BDA was the best. Malty, fruity, spicy, elegant.
