Only made this beer once. Came out around 8.7% ABV. Was extremely sweet, like a high ABV sweet stout. changed the recipe to adapt to it to a better balanced bitterness, and roasted flavors to include a more chocolate flavor and to get blackberries instead of extract. The goal of this beer is to resemble a chocolate covered blackberry.
