Notes

Be sure to use Crisp Pale Chocolate to get more chocolate flavor rather than espresso and roasty flavors

Roast cocoa nibs 5-10 minutes at 300F until oven smells very chocolaty while racking into secondary, add nibs right out of oven.

May add 1/2 post of dark roast coffee in last 5 minutes of boil

3.5 oz Maltodextrin last 10-15 minutes boil to improve mouthfeel
Sub Lactose for a more milk chocolate flavor

May use 75 minute boil to provide more caramel flavor

May use English Ale yeast for more residual sugar for fuller flavor and mouthfeel

Standard 2 week ferment

May increase black malt up to 5% for more dark chocolate flavor

May use East Kent Golding rather than Fuggle. Fuggle used here as this is the base for a adding some mint as well.
