I've been drinking a few of these. Not much else on the shelf so it's not all going to make it to next winter.

The vanilla flavours in the chocolate essence are less prominent now and much better IMO. The chocolate was always playing second fiddle.

The choc malts are good, but I did not have them cracked when I bought them so the flavours are more a bitter and flame charred. I won't say roasted. It's a bit harsher than that.

I would be happy to do this one again but I would try and remember the following things:
Crack the grains/malts to get that sweeter coffee flavour
Use another method of infusing the chocolate, either a different essence or get some actual dark cooking chocolate - good quality stuff not supermarket stuff.
Use a darker dry malt like I did in the first version of this. In this brew I used the regular brew booster which is a light malt and dextrose mix. This should give a thicker mouth feel but it might also benefit from brewing it to 20L or 21L instead of 23L.

Regardless of this I have been enjoying one now and again. Not a session beer this one.
