Notes
4oz. of 100% bakers cocao added to primary. 4oz. added at bottling time. 2oz. of raspberry extract added to primary, 2oz. added at bottling time. Lactose added at last 5 minutes of boil. This recipe turned out alright, but not the best. I was aiming for something with a little more chocolate flavor like Young's Double Chocolate Stout. Because of the amount of raspberry extract I added, that's about all I taste. Definately a desert beer. If I brew again, it will be with 2lbs of fresh raspberries, 1lb of chocolate malt, and 8oz. of cocao total. Also, I'd probably change the hops to an actual bittering hop.
