Notes

We accidentally did a higher mash temp than intended when testing this recipe, so we likely ended up with more unfermentable sugars. Also lost quite a bit during the boil (again, higher temp, and cold air with an outdoor brew), so we ended up topping things off a bit (added 1 quart of water), and had about 6.75 gal at pitching.

This was separated into two batches for fermentation. After some experimentation, the recipe has been altered. One batch had cacao nibs added during primary, one secondary... our goal was a hint of chocolate, but if you want more of a chocolate kick, add them in secondary. Also bumped the extract to 3 oz for sufficient flavor.

Overall, it's a somewhat malty sweet taste, with nutty overtones, and a slight chocolate finish.
