question: What is a good beer pairing for Strong blue cheese and oatcakes?
answer: A great choice for Strong blue cheese and oatcakes is Old World Russian Imperial Stout (Russian Imperial Stout.). Here's the recipe:
  This Russian Imperial Stout. features a complex malt bill including Extra Pale (6.56 kilograms), Dark Crystal 350 (0.66 kilograms), and Carafa Special Malt Type 3 (0.31 kilograms). The hopping schedule uses Magnum (12.5grams @ start), and Galena (12.5grams @ start) for balanced bitterness and aroma. Add the chocolate malt after the mash is complete, at the start of sparging. This will extract flavour and colour, but will prevent the extraction of harsh tannins into the wort.
