Only thing I made richer was a double Stout, which was darn near gravy. Hmm, like Willy says, "I like gravy!"<BR/><BR/>We'll see what the locals say ... I like the beers with lots of goodies in it because weak, thin beers tend to get infections easier. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the recipe.<BR/>samSamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06904821424581969401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10291496.post-79698623877691816642007-11-13T06:10:00.000-08:002007-11-13T06:10:00.000-08:00Chocolate Beer!Hey Sammy!

The best commercial example is “Young’s Double Chocolate Stout”<BR/><BR/>If you can find some also get a couple of bottles of “Linderman’s Frambroise Lambic” which is a raspberry flavored beer open fermented in one specific region of Belguim.<BR/><BR/>After enjoying both styles separately, then make a “Chocolate Truffle” 2 parts Young’s to 1 part Frambroise <BR/><BR/>As far as home brewing a Chocolate stout we have tried it many ways. Primarily you use Chocolate malt as a specialty grain and then add cocoa to the boil. We tried many versions and never quite hit it. A buddy came up with the solution, Chocolate Liquor! <BR/><BR/>He added an entire fifth as he kegged a five gallon batch but I prefer to start a pint glass with a shot or two before I build a nice pint of “Catfish Hole Stout” (can’t see the sun through it!) I have some on tap now, If UPS brings you a couple of bottles of “Diet Coke” open them carefully <BR/><BR/>Tha Beerman!<BR/><BR/>Catfish Hole Stout<BR/>An Imperial Stout<BR/><BR/>Specialty Grains: 1 lb.
