desperately seeking a REAL milkshake stout

[raptorvan]

So I'm at a taproom about a years ago and they have a chocolate milkshake stout...I like stout but to be honest I'm not a fan of roasty burn flavors. Long story short I order it and holy crap was this beer good, it was almost a religious experience. If I didn't know better I would say I was actually drinking a chocolate milkshake. Since then I've looked for recipes and all I get is a general purpose milk stout with an amped up chocolate malt in the grain bill. Now, I know that chocolate malt is named such mostly because of the color and the fact that it kind of tastes like unsweetened bakers chocolate. My question is this/ these....does pale chocolate malt make a better substitute? And does anyone have their own formula or recipe for a beer that actually tastes like a chocolate milkshake? I'm looking for the malty, sweet, chewy chocolate flavors and mouthfeel I experienced that night.



Thanks guys.

Ok guys...brewday update...so I mashed in at 152/3 I hit my mark right on....had conversion at 47 minutes. Hit my o.g mark almost perfectly...overall the best mash I have ever done. Then the boil came. The first 40 minutes went fine, added the lactose at 30minutes... then my gas started to ease up...I was running on empty. Just as the wort stopped rolling I was posses and kicked my propane tank..lightly and my flame came back...so I spent the next 20minutes shaking my tank...now it is REALLY empty. I forgot to add my hops at the 15 so I pitched at 10, same with the Irish moss. I cooled and racked into the bucket and oh crap...my new brewstsnd and kettle were more powerful than I thought...I was a full gallon shy of 5. So I went to take a reading and oh crap I knocked my hydrometer to the garage floor...and it was my emergency hydrometer cud I broke my first one last week while orginizing my shop. So as a desperate man I rationalized that if my o.g was right on it would only stand to reason that my s.g should be right....had it been 5gallons...so I did it, the one thing no respectable homebrewer will ADMIT to doing...I three a gallon of water in the cool wort and pitched my yeast.



Feel free to give advice...also, when is the best time to add my cocao nibs?

P.s. I'm on my kindle fire so if there are any weird words, it is auto correct...I'm not drunk
