Dr Scott's Chocolate Coconut Stout

[TheDarkSide]

Yeah just barely noticeable is the best. It'll smell stronger than it tastes and it's really good that way. I chose to dose the glass instead of the keg. I'm glad I did because after a while I preferred the stout on its own. Great beer though.

What category would you enter this in if you don't add the coconut? I brewed this and used 2 whole oz. of coconut extract and I just can't taste it. Could be me but that seems like a lot of extract to just not pick up. I may send it into comps just because it is a great beer. I may try to dose a couple bottles and enter it into the specialty category as well.

Going to have to try some without the coconut just because I can't source the extract easily and I'm not paying shipping on that. I hear it's a great beer even without the coconut. I'll see if I can find the local hippie-mart and find some extract.

I found the extract at my local Supermarket in the spice section. Near the vanilla extract. It was made by McCormick.

Old thread I know, but I was wondering how this beer compares to Maui Coconut Porter? I remember Doc saying that it tastes like a mounds bar, I must say that the first thing that came to mind in rating the Maui was mounds bar. Thought?

Thanks
