Chocolate and cayenne go so great together, I just really wanted to see how they would come together in a beer.

Danstar Nottingham
Danstar Nottingham
The Nottingham strain was selected for its highly flocculant & relatively full attenuation properties. It produces low concentrations of fruity and estery aromas and has been described as neutral for ale yeast, allowing the full natural flavor of malt & hops to develop. The recommended fermentation temperature range of this strain is 14° to 21°C (57° to 70°F) with good tolerance to low fermentation temperatures (12°C/54°F) that allow this strain to be used in lager-style beer. With a relatively high alcohol tolerance, Nottingham is a great choice for creation of higher-alcohol specialty beers!
Notes
Mash and sparged with the cocoa and cayenne in it. #11 11/07

Stronger than expected

This beer had an OG of 1.061 as expected. But the FG came in at about 1.016 which is a big difference. The flavors seem very good, although this is just at bottling.
Damn Good Beer

Chocolate didn't come through enough, but it may be better with a subtle chocolate flavor. Cayenne gives it a nice little touch, not spicy just a decent pepper flavor.
