Label on this year's Christmas presents...

That sounds like it would be really good. Does it taste anything like O'Fallon Chocolate Cherry?

I've never tried O'Fallon Chocolate Cherry. This beer is a blend between a batch of chocolate stout, a batch of stout spiked with tart cherry juice concentrate and a Christmas spice infused vodka tincture I made. I'm very happy with the results.

Actually, that sounds better than the O'Fallon. I wish I could try it..

I wish you could too. The "cherried" half of the ten gallon batch resulted with a much stronger cherry flavor than I anticipated (I used 1/2 gallon of tart cherry juice concentrate in 5 gallons of beer). The concentrate tastes amazing before fermentation -- exactly like liquid cherry pie. On blending day I decided that 1/2 gallon of the cherry half blended with the full 5 gallons of the chocolate half was the right level of fruitiness (a distant background note of fruit and spice was my goal. I wanted my stout to taste like a great chocolatey stout first and foremost). I only needed 1.5 teaspoons of my spice tincture to get the spices dialed in, too. Blending is such a rewarding way to control your flavors.

The end result is something I can be proud of, but I have gallons less than I expected to this year. I might end up with 3 bottles for personal consumption, aging etc. All the rest are spoken for. Sorry Bokeh.

No worries. I might, one day, brew my own. That's the beauty of this hobby.

but, that's not a reliable indicator of fermentation activity.
