Steep crushed grain in 4 gallons of water at 155°F for 30 minutes. Remove grains from the wort and rinse with 1 gallon of hot water. Add the liquid and dried malt extract and bring to boil. Add the hops, Irish moss (1 tsp @ 15 min remaining), and yeast nutrient (1 tsp @ 15 min remaining) as per the schedule. Add the Sumatran coffee and the chocolate varieties at the end of the boil. Add the wort to 4 gallons of cold water in a sanitized fermenter and top off with cold water up to 10 gallons. Pitch the yeast and aerate the wort heavily. Allow the beer to cool to 68°F. Hold at the temperature until fermentation is complete. Transfer to a carboy, avoiding any splashing. Add the Kona coffee and condition for one week, then bottle or keg. Carbonate and age for two weeks.

Be careful when adding the coffee and chocolate to the boil. During this batch it caused the boil to foam up and almost resulted in a boil over. |

Review by BJCP Certified Judge (BJCP Certified Judge)| Aroma: | 10 / 12 | Moderate coffee and chocolate aroma. Coffee slightly stronger. Robust malt follow. No hops - good. |
| Appearance: | 3 / 3 | Black opaque. Rich brown head. Pours thick then subsides. |
| Flavor: | 17 / 20 | Rich malt and coffee. Chocolate comes through also. Very rich malt character for dry stout. Also sweet. |
| Mouthfeel: | 4 / 5 | Medium full body. Perhaps high for style. Almost thick and chewy. |
| Overall Impression: | 7 / 10 | A complex and enjoyable beer. Chocolate character. Coffee nice. Deep rich stout body full for style but works. An enjoyable beer. Clean fermentation. |
| Cumulative Score: | 41 / 50 |
Excellent |
