Thanks SuthrnC. Have you tried this stout w/out the fruit? I'm planning to do a Chocolate Cherry Stout at some point, and looking for a good base. I did a chocolate raspberry porter a couple of times. Dialed down the fruit from batch #1 to batch #2, and will drop it again next time. In batch 1 I used 2 packages of frozen organic berries (no added sugar - I think they're 14 oz each), 8oz. of cacao nibs (I read somewhere even bakers chocolate has cocao butter in it (fat) and can decrease head and eventually go rancid - beside the nibs smelled awesome), and a vanilla bean in the secondary, and 8 fluid oz. of raspberry puree made from frozen raspberries at bottling. The cacao nibs are powerful - hold off on popping the caps until the chocolate has mellowed for a good 3 months. I've got a case that's coming up on a year, and just seems to get better. Still just a little bit much on the raspberry - I'm shooting for just a hint of it in the finish. I'll probably use fresh raspberries next time, and try to squeeze the juice from them, as I think the skins are contributing a bit of sour. Last edited by Gofastr1; 12-31-2009 at 11:41 PM. |

Raspberries are a very powerful fruit. As for the base recipe, I've never tried it alone. I don't do extract anymore either, otherwise I'd set you up with a good base.

Just a little update. I found a few bottles of this hiding in the back of my cellar and decided to see if it was still drinkable. It's a few years old, so I was a bit worried. After chilling at 45F for a few days, I popped the bottle tonight and WOW. The raspberry has mellowed out incredibly. I actually get a really nice chocolate flavor out of this with a bit of raspberry on the back end. It's a pretty complex tasting beer for something that was fairly basic. I'm concidering updating this to an all-grain version so I can tweak it just a bit. If you brew this, and can manage to keep a few around for a year or more...you'll be in for a treat.

Good things to those who wait on fruit and chocolate ales! Have you AG'd that base yet? I've got a American Stout AG recipe I was planning to use for my chocolate cherry stout, as most fruit stout recipes I've found don't start as sweet stouts, but I'm doing a 10 gallon batch, so I suppose I could toss some lactose into one fermentor. |

I generally don't like very many stouts. But this one seems right up my alley. I'll have to add it to my On Deck Circle. |
