I have two versions of this recipe. One is almost a Dry Stout turned toward Sweet Stout, and the other is pure Sweet Stout. This is the recipe for my Hazelmocha Cream Stout (Dry). It’s a dark, sweet, full-bodied, and deceptively dry sweet stout with chocolate, coffee, and hazelnut flavors due in large part to additions in the secondary.

I'm assuming people know how to brew if they're looking at the recipe, so I really don't explain the process at all (plus I don't want to give away too many of my secrets). That said, I list all of my ingredients, a general water profile, and a target beer profile, so it shouldn't be too hard to put it all together into your own version of my recipe.
