Okay so i know this is a bit out there but im going to take a shot at this and i would love any insight or suggestions if anyone is game to theoretically brew this with me. 3.25 gallons
So the goal is to create exactly what the title says. i would prefer the flavors to be present in that order as well.
I am pretty set on the chocolate that i want to use( https://www.mondofood.com/?post_type=product&s=cholaca+32) but would love suggestions from anyone who has used any chocolate products in wine.I might want to add addition nibs or powder if anyone swears by it.
i would love to get up 16%ABV if possible and what my plan is thus far is makes 4 gallons of cold brew coffee(1/2 pound coffee per 1 gallon) add 9#s sugar and do a 10 minute boil to dissolve/sterilize 1# of lactose.
after initial brew i will add instant coffee if i feel needed.
per gallon
1½ tsp citric acid
¼ tsp tannin
1 tsp yeast nutrient
 
no takers? no one wants to theoretically brew some sort of weird coffee drank with me? you guys are no fun.
 
What's holding you back? I have thought about coffee wine for a long time. Nothing like mixing caffeine with barbiturates. You won't fall sleep, or get depressed.

The idea here would be to make a mocha wine. With the main ingredient being coffee, it's not going to cost very much to try this one out.
 
I have made several batches of coffee wine and mead and often the wine is very bitter - and it does not seem to matter whether I cold brew or make coffee using hot water. I have yet to try this but I suspect that a better approach might be to simply add the crushed beans to the primary.
Nibs - IMO - make for a better chocolate flavor than cocoa powder but a bar of dark chocolate (85%) added to the secondary makes for a delightful chocolate flavor. (We just cracked open a bottle of chocolate Tupelo mead I bottled in February and my wife thought it was delightful). You want to add some vanilla to bring forward the chocolate notes.
