Boulder "Shake" Chocolate Porter

[MetallHed]

Does anyone know of a recipe for Boulder's "Shake?"

I had this beer last week and holy mother of crap was it good. I tried a search on here and google with no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Bumping up this thread, we need to brew this!

I'm there with you. I need to brew this one too.

I have created a recipe using BeerTools, but have not brewed it yet.
It is more of a sweet stout than a porter, but you could easily back dow the color and depth of flavor and adjust the hop schedule. It is listed as Chocolate Shake Ale in the BeerTools library. I've been brewing for 30 years and my friends are usually pleased with my clone attempts.

Anyone take a crack at it yet? I love this beer!

 

[Hello]

Drinking this right now and I need to brew it!

Had this a couple weeks back on nitro and thought it was great. I really don't have much to add except what's available on their site.

"Shake Chocolate Porter

Our twist on the traditional robust American Porter, Shake Chocolate Porter is dark black in color with rich, sweet aromatics and flavors of dark chocolate, coffee and caramel. This unique brew blends five different grains, including Chocolate Wheat, that along with cacao nibs create a devilishly delicious chocolate finish with a velvety mouthfeel. 5.9% ABV 39 IBU"

I'll be keeping an eye out, or maybe asking around a bit for more on this one as I'd be interested in brewing it myself.

 

[Hello]

I emailed the brewery, never got a response. I'm unsure how I feel when a brewery just completely ignores an e-mail. I think waiting just over a month is an acceptable amount of time to consider the e-mail ignored.

Good news is, I made a chocolate milk stout that does the job. I will brew and drink this on the go forward.

Boulder Shake is my wife's new favorite. Can you share the chocolate milk stout recipe you made?

I love shake, and I'm a new homebrewer but I've got to figure this one out .

You bet. I will post it as a recipe in just a little bit.

I just had this beer for the first time over the weekend. It's pretty awesome. Hopefully we can get a clone recipe going for it soon.

[Hello]

They never responded so I brewed my own and even won 2nd place in a comp. I guess it was okay.

 

[Hanso]

This is really good. Just had it. Subscribed.

 

[atli126]

hello will you share your recipe I would really like to give it a shot!

 

[beersk]

Here's my idea:

5 gallons chocolate milk
750 of vodka

Mix together, carbonate, and drink.

 

[Hanso]

Hard to know how much nitro influenced mouthfeel. . Any guess on the mash time and temp for this?

 

[atli126]

Can we get recipe?

 

[Hanso]

I took a crack at it and feel I came close, especially for a first attempt. If I rebrew with tweaks I will post it in a new recipe thread. The key is the malt bill... i went with Briess Pale Ale malt, aromatic malt, chocolate wheat, carafa I special, and cara aroma. Wyeast 1332 Northwest Ale, 1.053 and 24 ibu, 33 SRM. 4 oz nibs and 1 split vanilla bean in the keg. I encourage you to play around with this direction, if nothing else you'll have a very good chocolate porter.

The key is the malt bill...

Would you mind sharing the amounts of grain you used? Even percentages of the overall bill would be a helpful starting point for the community to help dial in the recipe.

 

[Hanso]

Yea... I was away from my recipe but just did from memory. I had 80% pale ale malt, 7.5 choc wheat, 5% aromatic, 3.5 carafa i, 3.5 caraaroma. For the nibs next time I might up the amount to 6 oz for 5 gal batch. Also I don't trust the Boulder info you can find on the IBU... I am thinking at most 25 IBU tinseth. It could very well be they are measuring in Rager or something, or factoring in dark grain bitterness. .. either way the hops should not be much more than 25 tinseth.

 

[Hanso]

Whoops I got that wrong, my gravity was 1.058 on this batch and I felt it could have been higher. I mashed 70 minutes at 152, batch sparged 10 minutes at 170 for mash out. Treated water for a porter based on my source water which means about a teaspoon each of chalk and baking soda.
I also don't plan the change the yeast next time, it did vert well.

 

[atli126]

Cool thanks!
