What it does :

Chocolate character is usually obtained in a beer through the use of roasted malts that emulate its flavor and aroma. However, in the pursuit of ever more extreme ales, some put chocolate itself in the brew. Will you dare?

What it is:

Chocolate is a common food flavoring and is obtained from processing beans from the tropical cocao tree.

Dosage:

Use up to 2 ounces of chocolate per 5 gallons. Add during the last 10 to 15 minutes of the boil.

Drawbacks:

Use unsweetened baker's chocolate and cut into small cubes.
