Notes

Cocoa nibs and vanilla bean were steeped in vodka while the beer was fermenting. This tincture steeped 7 days then added to the fermenter. I let this meld for an additional 7 days then transferred to keg.

The chocolate and vanilla were present on the nose and taste however not as powerful as I was looking for.

The IBU's seemed a bit much when the beer was young but mellowed out over time to a perfect level.

It lacked bitterness of black patent malt.

This beer was very enjoyable especially after week 6.

Next time the tincture will steep in the fermenter for two weeks instead of one and I will add black patent malt to the recipe. Also beer should be left develop for at least 6 weeks before tapping.
