I just pitched this brew described in the above link. The difference being I reduced the black malt and increased the chocolate.

Couple of pics:

The one surprise is the much higher OG than expected: 1.067 or thereabouts...I'm not sure if that's right or my hydrometer is telling me porkies. This gives an efficiency of approximately 74.38% when I usually get about 65%...

I got to about 9.5l in the FV, which is now in the fermentation fridge.

Hope this turns out well for you, it's a beer I'm definitely going to attempt at some point :hat:
 
Update: I took the SG tonight after 13 days in the FV...it was 1.015, which makes it 6.83% standard or 7.13% alternative...easily the strongest beer I've brewed up to now...I'll be bottling on Friday.

I've already made the decision to bottle them in 330ml bottles, due to the strength and to make them last longer!
 
Trying a bottle of this for the first time tonight. Really enjoying it. The roasted malts really come through.

The downsides are that it is a little under carbed and there's no head. The latter doesn't concern me terribly though.
