Chocolate Mint Dessert Stout 5 Gallon is a rich, sweet stout with roasted malt, cocoa, peppermint, vanilla, lactose, and cacao nibs for a dessert-style beer that brings serious chocolate mint cookie energy to your glass. Chocolate mint dessert flavor combines cocoa, cacao nibs, peppermint, and vanilla for a smooth, sweet-spiced finish. Rich stout character brings roasted malt depth from Coopers Irish Stout and Coopers Dark Malt. Lactose and Smooth LME help build body, sweetness, and a fuller mouthfeel. 5-gallon batch size makes this a great recipe when you want plenty of bold dessert stout to share, stock up, or pour during the colder months. Smooth, dark, and dessert-ready, this stout is made for brewers who like their beer rich, chocolatey, minty, and just a little dangerous around cookie season. Contains Lactose: This recipe includes lactose, a milk-derived sugar. If you are sensitive to lactose or avoid milk-derived ingredients, select a lactose-free recipe instead.
