WHAT. A. BEAST. Appreciate the shoutout and it's great to see the reiterated mashing technique working exactly as it's supposed to! Nice touch putting your whole pantry into the beer! I'm hoping you can save some bottles for a few years as I bet that will age well. Great brew!

I just kegged my imperial Oreo cookie stout 10 pounds of Oreos, 2 lbs of toasted cocoa nibs and 6oz of homemade vanilla extract all in secondary. 8 gallon batch that ended up being just shy of 6. At 12% abv you can get a hint of alcohol in the aroma and flavor but it's an absolute chocolate bomb and a true dessert stout. This is my second year in a row brewing it and even though it's crazy expensive to brew it's going to be an annual tradition for me because it's that good.

I made a chocolate peanut butter stout a few years ago using somewhere like 2.5-3 pounds of powdered peanut butter which most people put into shakes and smoothies. It turned out okay, definitely needs some tweaks to the recipe to make it more palatable. I do a cobbler sour using honey graham crackers in the mash and I secondary with several pounds of mixed berries and finish with some homemade vanilla extract.

My oddest beer was a kettle sour berlinnerweisse, that I mixed in 1 week old Syrah crushed grapes to make a wine yeast /pro-biotic double fermented conundrum. Tasted great, but the probiotic certainly gave me gas! I made this 3-4 times each time I harvested my grapes. A bit of fun though a bit of planning to overlap the harvest and the beer...

I imagine that desserts could actually be a great way to use things like cinnamon and chocolate in a beer as everything is already measured and comparitvly sanitised. Hmm next up chocolate stout made with chocolate cake maybe?

Not a cheap beer to make if that stuff had to be bought for this. Would you let it finish higher next time? Either with a higher OG (controlling through apparent attenuation) or mashing higher (controlling through dextrins), or something else like lactose? That seems to be a theme with these commercial pastry stouts... some of them are 12%+ that end above 1.060 which is just insane.

Loved the trick about double mashing! I just attempted a big stout, and my foundry was so jam packed with grains I could barely stir. Ended up 9%, which is probably less than if I'd done this method. One technical question for you, since you recommended letting these guys age a little: is it better to age these beers in the fermenter or in the bottle?
