I am thinking that SS may use some sort of extract for the Theobroma cacao. I taste a slight hint of vanilla as well. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0093B8AO0/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 This extract says "lyrical vanilla-in-wine top notes" in the description. I think the fruity taste may...

Planning to make a chocolate stout this weekend, however it will be a higher gravity beer. My last attempt at this was pretty good. I put 4 oz of bakers 70% chocolate in the boil in addition to the chocolate malt. It had a lot of chocolate flavor and was delicious. Needed more chocolate in...

Something I found from Samuel Smiths Beer Reference Chart from merchantduvin says they use cocoa. Their site says Theobroma cacao is used of course in addition to the chocoloate malt and roasted barley. As soon as I can give this an attempt, I will let you guys know how it turns out. jpjr...

Hi everyone, I recently tried Samuel Smiths Organic Chocolate stout and fell in love with the sweet chocolatey taste. I was wondering if anyone has a close clone or a good recipe for a sweet chocolate tasting stout like this I could try out. I havent had much luck with finding a "sweet...
