3.3# Liquid Malt Extract (Amber)
3# Dry Malt Extract (Dark)
.75# American Chocolate Malt
.25# Roasted Barely
.5#Dextrose
2oz Willamete Hops (5.8%)
1oz Casade Hops (6%)
2oz 100% cocoa baking chocolate
4oz cherry extract
steep Chocolate Malt and Roasted Barley @ 170 for 20 minutes. After hot break add the chocolate and willamete hops. After 45 minutes add cascade hops.
This turned out to be a decent stout but not quite what I wanted. The beer has a decent cherry and chocolate nose but the flavors don't stand out quite as much as I wanted. I think next time I'm going to use much more chocolate (about 22oz) and real cherries instead of the extract. The beer has a slight medicinal taste that I think is caused by the extract. I'll post back with the results from that.
