Chocolate Orange Stout

voegeli51 · 06-30-2009, 05:31 PM

I was looking to brew up a stout with orange peels, chocolate, and some lactose in it. I was wondering if there are any good recipes out there right now, or if anybody had any suggestions. Not on AG yet, but am working on it.

Not sure about the lactose, but the orange and chocolate sounds...interesting.

I've perfected a chocolate orange stout over the past few years and it is one of my most popular beers. It's brewed as a dry stout so no lactose, and I use fresh orange zest not the dried stuff.

I think that is what I am going to try our for the next brew, won't be for a while because me and the SWHMBD are gettin married in a couple of weeks. But, thanks for the recipe, I think I am going to try it with lactose just to see how it ends up.
