Holiday Ale # 22 – Chocolate Night

Helms-Brewing-Chocolate-Night-960x595
Time to get a little chocolately today as the winter warmer heads to not so cold San Diego and Helms Brewing for Chocolate Night.

“This Imperial Stout is brewed with an immense amount of barley to attain its “warming” qualities at 9.7% ABV. In addition to the malts, a large amount of oatmeal is added to provide a creamy mouth feel and billowy head. Ghiradeli Milk Chocolate is added to the boil, while premium vanilla extract is added post fermentation to round everything out.”
