Hi all,
I'm thinking of brewing a Chocolate Mint Porter. Too bad I didn't think of it sooner to have over the holidays! To me, the flavor combination just makes sense. Peppermint Patty Porter. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Has anyone ever brewed this? Has anyone ever tried or even heard of this? I don't have a specific recipe, but I did find a Chocolate Mint Stout in one of my books. I figure I can use a basic porter recipe....add about 6 oz bittersweet bakers chocolate (melted) towards the end of the boil....then add about 4 oz of fresh peppermint leaves in the secondary fermemter (like a dry hop).
Any thoughts or advice? I've never tasted one, but it sounds pretty tasty.
