I brewed mine with about ~80 IBUs from hops + whatever you got from the chocolate bars & coffee. Mine also ended up at 9.8% ABV. For as big as this beer is, the hops balance everything out nicely so it's not too sweet.
Second this. I brewed on Halloween, and noticed the beer had stalled in Mid-Dec. Kick started it again and it finished the beginning of Jan. Added cold-brewed coffee to secondary and let sit for another 2 weeks.
Total time was ~2 months Primary and 2 weeks Secondary, and they've been in...
Brewed my own version of this last night. Hoping it turns out well. It was black as motor oil and the smells coming out of the airlock are amazing.
