Blind Bill • 12/12/2015 at 05:50pm I prefer using the chocolate extract instead of cocoa nibs because it gives it a more chocolaty note. The oak chips and the bourbon also add complexity. Better than last year's batch using nibs and vodka.

Thanks for this recipe! We already brewed and have it on primary fermentation at the moment. Regarding the bourbon/vainilla addition, do you add only the liquid (and leave the vanilla beans out) in secondary fermentation or do you add all together?
Thanks! Boneco
Blind Bill • 08/24/2018 at 11:58am I added both the liquid and the vanilla beans to the Secondary and it worked really well. Make sure to slit open the beans and scrape the insides into the bourbon as well, you will get a more pronounced vanilla flavor.
Great Recipe. Has anyone experimented with this? Curious to know the results to make it less sweet? Curious to know your thoughts on halfing the lactose and cocoa?
Blind Bill • 08/29/2020 at 02:39pm The chocolate does not make the beer sweet since I use cocoa power and chocolate extract. I don't know if reducing the lactose would make it less sweet. Maybe increasing the hops slightly to counter the bitterness but I would use only noble hops to do that since they won't affect the flavor as much. Hope this helps
MichaelK • 10/13/2020 at 03:33pm My First time brewing a Stout. Just brewed this yesterday and cant wait for the final product! Instead of Flaked oats I used toasted barley flakes as well I omitted the Cocao. the wort itself was very drinkable
