Revvy, is the recipe for the chocolate mole porter posted somewhere? That sounds interesting. I would love to know how it comes out.
No...it's an experiment...I don't tend to post recipes like that until they're "ready."
But....Here's roughly what it is... 2.5 gallon recipe...

I won't vouch anything to how this recipe will be yet....I had a bottle by accident after 2 weeks in bottle...and the pepper burned...but it had no head yet, and no chocolate aroma...we'll see in a few weeks.
