Cheeky Monkey did a great limited release Rum/Raisin Bock & I want to try do a Rum/Raisin stout. They used rum soaked raisins in theirs, & also aged it on oak. I was wondering if I could get some feedback. For the rum/raisin part I was going to steep chopped raisins in dark rum, then after initial ferment, put those into the fermenter. Leave that for ?? time. I have to work out quantities/ratios/etc of those.

Theirs was 7%, so I'll have to make a semi-educated guess on the OG, because the rum is going to give that a nudge. The rum/raisin wasn't over the top, just very subdued sweet dried fruit & a gentle lingering warmth from the rum. It was delish. How's this for a start:

78% ale
7% munich (dark/light?)
6% caraf spec III
4% c60
3% Spec B
2% Choc

Around 30-40 ibu of neutral 60 min bittering.

Any thoughts?

Cheers.
 
I make raisin infused rum, and then use the rum soaked raisins in pies after they've soaked for a week. I can say that half of a 1 pound box of raisins in a quart jar or rum makes for a nice rum. But dilluted in 5 gallons of beer, I might use the full pound of raisins in the rum and add it all in after soaking them for 10 days or so.
