This 4 oz. chocolate extract does add a chocolate taste. My beer acquired a dark chocolate aftertaste. But at this price, you might as well put the money towards some top-shelf baker's cocoa to include at the end of the boil and in the secondary fermenter.

I got this chocolate extract as part of a kit and was disappointed. Thought the chocolate was not really a clean chocolate flavor and was more like a tootsie roll.
I split the batch and only put the extract in half and the half that had it also had an "alcoholy" taste to it. The only difference was the extract addition after fermenting was complete. My wife who uses extracts a lot for cooking say she feels lots of extracts give off an alcohol taste.
I gave it a poor value score, because for the price, I'd hope for more true chocolate flavor. I'd opt to just buy real choco instead.

I made a Chocolate Stout using this extract. I used 2 ounces for 5 gallons and the chocolate was subtle. For next time I will augment it with cocoa nibs to up the flavor.

I purchased this from Midwest along with just about every flavor they carry. I am experimenting with these as I first used Vintage Harvest Fruit Puree for fruit beer but that adds an extra big step and a much higher cost. I put the chocolate in a Cherry Vanilla Chocolate Stoudt and it was a hit. I would use it again.

Used this chocolate flavor on a oatmeal stout which has a coffee/dark/small hint of chocolate already---this really allowed the chocolate flavor to pop.

Use it along side cocoa

By itself its not so good. When used alongside real cocoa they work together and make a good chocolate taste. But then why even use this, and instead I would just use cocoa powder.
