Another brew idea I am kicking around. This one is based on the NB Milk Chocolate Stout extract kit but with quite a few additions. I'm looking for dessert in a glass, sweet but not cloying, a nice semi-sweet coco flavor, and a subtle spice kick. Let me know what you think or if you have brewed anything similar!
