Notes

Two weeks in primary fermentation. Before transfer to secondary, cocoa nibs were soaked in about an ounce or so of vodka then placed in the bottom of the secondary carboy. Used just enough vodka to wet all of the cocoa nibs. Saved the vodka in a small jar for use later. Racked fermented stout from primary on top of the cocoa nibs.

Aged in secondary for approximately two weeks.

Transferred stout into keg. Left over vodka was reused to soak whole espresso beans for about 15 minutes. Whole beans were then placed in a fine mesh bag and added to the keg. Fishing line used to keep bag from sinking (keeping everything sanitary was a bit challenging; may consider putting beans into secondary next time around). Espresso beans left in keg for about 20 hours and were then removed after tasting. Coffee flavor is strong but not over powering. Would not leave beans in for more than 24 hours. Tasted the stout periodically while the espresso beans soaked in it to ensure the right amount of coffee flavor. Once the coffee taste is as strong as desired, remove the beans from the stout. Too much coffee flavor could be overpowering.

Carbonated for approximately 24hrs at 25 psi, then brought down to serving pressure.

Very smooth, subtle notes of chocolate mix well with strong coffee flavors. Even without the coffee, this was an excellent tasting stout.
