Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Mint Chocolate Stout

[seckert]

Just had my first taste of this...Well the first one that was any good. When it was first kegged the mint flavor was way too much. The chocolate flavor was over powered.
I think I will make a full sized batch next time, however I will raise the cacao nibs and reduce the mint by a bit. Thinking .75oz of mint for 5 gallons. 10oz of cacao nibs for 5 gallons. Keep everything else the same.

I just brewed this on the weekend. Everything went really well. Used the full 8 oz of chocolate and it appears very prevalent. Hope it's not too much... Smells great so far. Fermentation took off like crazy now slowing down a bit.

Might have to put this in the rotation.

I just kegged this, tasted good (as good as warm flat beer can taste). Not much chocolate at all. Not sure if I moved it to a secondary too early (2 weeks). Looking forward to trying this properly in a couple of weeks.
