This is a favorite of mine: A chocolate coffee stout. As always, I'll cover the brew, fermentation and tasting of the beer. To get the desired flavors, I brewed a sweet stout and added some coffee and cacao nibs in secondary. The final result was 6.1% ABV and 44 IBUs. The coffee addition resulted in a little extra bitterness, and I think this could have been improved by adding dark roast instead of light roast coffee. The chocolate character however was excellent. This was a good beer that I would love to brew again at some point.
