Hi. I'm bottling a stout tomorrow. I took a FG reading today and upon sampling I found that the beer is not roasty enough. Its as if I made a sweet oatmeal porter.
I'd like to give it a little more bitterness to balance the sweet character (*I am certain it as stopped fermenting). Are either of these viable options?
I'm leaning more toward option one and hoping the collective wisdom of this forum can help guide me.
Thanks.

- Could I steep a few ounces of roasted barley and add during bottling?
- Could I add a pint of really strong black coffee?
