Notes

Notes for change: 1) Steep chocolate, roasted barley, carapils, midnight instead of mashing. 2) add honey and lactose with cherry juice

Maybe, depending on taste: 1) replace some dark DME with wheat.

Cherry flavor comes out more with time. Very nice at 5 months after kegging.

Used yeast cake from previous beer.

Started 11/11
Added cherry to secondary 12/18
Added nibs 1/12
Kegged 1/30

Roasty, yet very chocolatey. Cherry flavor underlies, stronger with time. Very delicious sipper!

May adjust to reduce roasty flavor and increase sweetness.
