Nick Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 i have a nice little stockpile or Toucan Stouts happening in readiness for winter, but thought i'd like to try a variation. I did a quick forum search for Chocolate Stout, but it was just a little boy's look and i didn't really find much so i googlised it. I have ended up with: OS Stout Can OS Dark Ale Can 300gms Cottees Chocolate topping both yeast sachets 23lt Has anyone done anything similar? I had a taste when i took my OG sample, but couldn't really taste the chocolate. I dont want to have the chocolate too in your face, but i want to know its there. I still have another 300gm of Chocky topping that i can add if need be. Will the flavour develop more during fermentation and conditioning?

Otto Von Blotto Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I accidentally made a chocolate porter recently, I don't know whether it's the chocolate malt or the black patent I used but it has a noticeable chocolately flavour to it but not overpowering. Very nice I must say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trabfountain Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I made a Chocolate Liqueur Stout and it was great. Just a nice hint of chocolate. It included 300gm Choc Malt and 50ml Choc flavored spirit essence. My next stout will be PB2's toucan stout ie. OS Stout can OS Dark Ale can 1 kg Dex 300gm Choc Malt 50ml Choc flavored spirit essence. both yeast sachets made to 23lt My last Toucan stout ended up 6.16% ABV so I'm not sure if I should reduce the amount of dex to allow for the extra choc malt.
