I wanted to try something with actual chocolate in it. The final result was a dark as the picture- only two weeks old but still a pretty good imperial stout.

After sitting bottled in my cellar for about two months now, this has turned out to br a very good stout, well balanced with just a hoppy bite at the end. It has gotten good reviews from all my relatives, my father especially, who is fond of bocks and double bocks.
