Your Label Peelers Black Forest Stout – All Grain Original Beer Kit never sits on a shelf; your grains are crushed to order, your ingredients are packed fresh, and you never pay for a flashy box. It’s all about giving you the purest, freshest building blocks so you can brew your best beer every time.

Your Black Forest Stout – All Grain kit invites you into a world of rich, full-bodied flavor, offering a stout that wraps you in deep notes of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and quiet whispers of dark fruit. With a foundation of premium pale malt supporting layers of roasted barley, chocolate malt, caramel malt, and just a touch of black patent, you create a base that delivers intensity, balance, and satisfying complexity. As you mash in, you coax out flavors that feel both familiar and indulgent, letting the roasted grains reveal their bold warmth while the caramel malt brings sweetness and dimension, complementing those subtle fruit undertones.

Your hop additions provide structure without overshadowing the malt. Northern Brewer contributes a clean, firm bitterness during the long boil, while Fuggle becomes your finishing touch, offering a gentle, earthy aroma that settles comfortably into the stout’s dense malt body. Fermentation with a traditional Irish ale yeast allows the grain bill to shine, giving you a smooth, expressive profile that emphasizes everything you love about a classic stout.

When you brew this Black Forest Stout, you’re not just making a dark beer; you’re crafting a comforting companion for quiet evenings, cool nights, and moments when you want a brew that feels grounding and memorable. This kit gives you the chance to create a stout with character, depth, and a lingering richness that rewards every sip.
