THIS BEER IS
An early Cocoa Psycho recipe that we loved, but didn't fit what we were looking for. We locked this chocolate coffee stout away in barrels for two years, imparting toasted marshmallow, spicy vanilla, molasses and boozy warmth.

BREWER'S TIP
There is a huge amount of roasted malts in this grist. Be careful not to pulverise the malt into powder during the milling process.
