Fermenting vigoriously

The coffee and organic cocoa powder goes well with the molasses and smells great. Wyeast was not viable, so I added a 15g packet of Coopers dry ale yeast which "took off" very quickly. My actual SG was 1.054, not 1.058 that the calculator notes.

Turned out great

This stout is very smooth and easy to drink (low hop bitterness) but has an incredable amout of complex flavors. The coffee peeks through in both flavor and aroma, but not overly so much that it has dominence over the chocolate and the many other hints of a really complex stout. It started a little sweet, but after carbonation it has mellowed (if that makes sense). I would make this one again, but would raise the hop flavor hops slightly.
