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.

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.

    Excellent Brew.

    First the bad the kit was supposed to include two packets of BrewMax LME Smooth but it only had one. Unfortunately I didn't open the kit for about two months due to by work schedule. It was brew day and a little late at that point. I substituted an equal weight of corn sugar. For the beer. I wanted a Peppermint forward stout for my wife and I knew that one teaspoon in 5 gal wasn't going to do that so I used one tablespoon. Then I also changed the vanilla to two tablespoons vise teaspoons to offset. What a got was a nice rich stout with distinct Peppermint flavor but not at all overpowering with hints of chocolate and vanilla. Aside from the three alterations I mention here I followed the recipe exactly and kegged it on day 24. I carbonated it for one week and the beer is wonderful. My wife already asked that I make it again next winter but before Christmas this time as had been my original plan before earning a living got in the way :-)
