Mint Chocolate Stout

NOTE: This was only a 3-gallon batch. Boil size was actually about 3.75 to 4.

My OG was 1.043 and FG was 1.012.

Mash temp was around 153.

This beer turned out better than expected. But if I do it again, I'll up the chocolate (in the boil and secondary) and maybe even up the peppermint slightly. Mint came through nicely and all, but it faded as the beer aged in the bottles. And it was never overwhelming, even when it was young.
