PassedPawn-interesting take on peanut butter. I thought it was good Pb and if anything, light on chocolate. I used your ratio from an early post that I think scaled down to roughly 1ml per 12 oz bottle.

MapleGrove-I hate to turn anyone off, I’d rather everyone try it themselves and maybe your flavor profile is different. But if you want a free sample, I know where you can find one. [emoji6]

I am certain there's an interaction between the base beer and these flavors.

For example, if you've ever had baker's chocolate, you know it's awful. Add some sugar and it's a whole different experience. These flavors probably benefit from leaving some residual sugars in the beer. In my case, I used a highly-attenuated low ABV porter. That was probably not the best match for the flavors.
 
I use Apex all of the time, but limit to 4-5ml per 5 gallon batch to start with. Even used it on a 5bbl batch brewed in a brew pub. I read on this forum DuClaw Sweet Baby Jesus used Apex so I tried them. Both are from the Baltimore area. Really like their Hazelnut and Caramel extract.

How close were you able to get to SBJ?
 
I see Apex now has a toasted coconut extract. I'm thinking of ordering some and brewing a toasted coconut milk stout in a few weeks and keg it for winter.
Anyone try it yet?
