Notes
Roast cocoa nibs and let rest in whisky for a few days. Rack to secondary after about 5 - 7 days and "dry hop" with your cocoa nibs / whisky solution.
This will be a test for my port barrel. Might double the amount, and bottle some.
Half into the barrel, half into bottles.
Not using barrel this time. Want to check the recipe first. Had a little taste before pitching the cocoa nibs and vanilla, and was already pretty chocolatey! Also, more bitter than expected. I think the cocoa and vanilla ( and Starward Whiskey ) will go well.
Going to have a yeast fight between Belgian and the New World.
Both chocolatey and bitter, in a good way! Maybe a little too bitter, but it's a nice bitter. The nib addition seemed to have rounded that out. Just bottled ( 01/June/2020 ).
When I bottled this, it was brown. It's jet black now. Bitterness has mellowed nicely in only a couple weeks. Quite enjoyable.
This is bloody nice now. 26/07/2020. Around 2 months in bottles to get to nice flavour town.
