Obviously scorching would be a concern, but has anyone tried it? If possible, what would be a good/bad style? Or possible at all?
That's called Scotch.
Yep, distilled beer - the base beer has no hops.No ****? Really?
Yeah, I meant your typical commercial whiskeyTheoretically, with hops is good too. Don't ask me how I know....

I would love to be wrong but I've heard that any hops at all will cause a nasty flavor in the distillate.

Slightly OT, but I wonder what something darker with roast and crystal malts with a super malty flavor like an Octoberfest (without the hops) would taste like compared to the standard super pale single-malt?
A friend of mine mashed and fermented 30lbs of chocolate malt. Needles to say, it failed to ferment. Instead of tossing, he added sugar and re-pitched with much greater success. The distillate tasted like... Chocolate!! Quite pleasant.

I going to try this sometime this year. I have heard plenty of stories about more complex worts getting distilled. Stout whisky for example. My initial idea is to brew up 10 gallons of my Brown ale which is not terribly hoppy, ferment 1/2 for beer and 1/2 for distillation. Might do a stout, might do a rye beer.
That's why its called single Malt...No ****? Really?
Single malt refers to being from a single distillery. The alternative is blended from multiple distilleries.That's why its called single Malt...
WTF even is "two roll"? Toilet tissue?
Edit: just wanted to add, the Original Gangster is likely the one doing time and brewing said toilet paper moonshine. And getting shanked with a toothbrush shiv. Or is that shived with a shank?
Sorry, but single malt scotch is made from 100% mRted barley. Irish whiskey is made from unmalted barley plus other grains (sometimes).
Yes and that is what gives Scotch it's stronger flavor. It took me years to aquire a taste for Scotch. I love it now.Irish is also usually triple distilled where Scotch is usually double distilled. And Scotch is usually older. With exceptions.

Alright you lost me on that one. Lol WTF is Auchentoshan??And it's why Auchentoshan just doesn't taste right lol
That and peat. Scotch is peated. I’d imagine if you made a beer without hops and distilled that, what you’d end up with would be more like Irish Whiskey.Yes and that is what gives Scotch it's stronger flavor. It took me years to aquire a taste for Scotch. I love it now.
This is correct. The terms “single” and “malt” are not modifiers of each other. Single means juice from one distillery. The opposite of single is blended. Some whiskies incorporate juice from 3 dozen distilleries. Malt just means malted barley. The terms are not connected and do not relate to each other.Single malt refers to being from a single distillery. The alternative is blended from multiple distilleries.
All whisk(e)y is grain based, not just Scotch. Scotch and Irish Whisky are both malted barley based.
I’ve only had the American Oak, but I agree. Not a fan.And it's why Auchentoshan just doesn't taste right lol
