Notes

Add the Cacoa nibs to the secondary and give it 2 weeks in the secondary

Bottled 1/2 then added Brewers Best Peanut butter flavoring to make a chocolate PB stout.

This is the best milk stout that I have ever tasted. Both the Chocolate and the Chocolate & Peanut Butter versions were loved by all that enjoy a good Porter/Stout. Could have improved the PB version with a little less Peanut Butter flavor (will only add 4 ounces/5 gallons in any future batches)

I had to take this one out of the rotation - only because I am lactose intolerant and even if I take a lactose digestive supplement i can't drink more than one without having issues.
