Sweet Chocolate Stout
Sweet Stout • All Grain • 19.50 L
This was the second batch in a series of stouts using a lactose as an ingredient. I intended to have a strong cocoa flavor, and that was exactly what I got. The taste is intense, but quite good.

Notes
The yeast used was the sediment from my previous batch of milky sweet stout. Brewed on 6/15/09. 1-step mashing at 67-69C. The OG was 1.074, and the FG was 1.024. Bottled on 8/3/09, so this beer was kept in the fermenter way too long. (I was busy and I could not help it. )
