I'm thinking of doing a mint chocolate stout next and I want to get some feedback from some of you guys.
I'd like to add cocoa powder and mint to a base recipe, but I'm not sure what would be a good style to begin with. I don't want anything bitter like an imperial stout so I was thinking about using an oatmeal stout as a base recipe.
Also, I'm thinking of using peppermint extract for the mint portion of this beer, but have no idea how much I should add. I can get 2 oz. and 4 oz. bottles. Has anyone ever used peppermint extract before? Any tips are welcome.
