My Neighbor Cocoa-ro Chocolate Stout

My Neighbor Cocoa-ro Chocolate Stout

Foreign Extra Stout • Extract • 5 gal

Greg Plutko

This was the third in our series of anime-themed brews. We used a partial mash procedure and aged this one for 3 weeks in a secondary and 2 months in the bottle. It might not need that much time, but getting a brewing group of almost 15 people together for a first taste is tough!
