These extracts should be added to your bottling bucket just prior to bottling. Traditionally, fruit flavors were added to wheat beers, witbiers, blonde ales, porter and stouts. Today, breweries are adding these flavors to just about any style of beer.

Since the extract is added at bottling time, it is very easy to flavor only part of the batch. For example, if you made a Midwest Porter, you could bottle half of the batch without the extract, then add half the bottle of extract to the bottling bucket, stir, and bottle the rest. Use up to 4 oz. per 5 gallon batch.

Taste better than cocoa Review by Jack (Posted on 2/14/12): Product Rating:

Used In a porter at first did not taste.Let sit for a couple months and taste like a good chocolate beer.Almost as good as the one I had in Canada.
Bad Review by Rich (Posted on 7/30/12): Product Rating:

It has a faint hint of chocolate
Not that strong Review by Patrick (Posted on 11/18/12): Product Rating:

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.
Will Use real choco next time. Review by Rich S (Posted on 1/2/13): Product Rating:

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.
Used in a Stout Review by Revis (Posted on 3/21/13): Product Rating:

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.
Works with no hassle Review by John (Posted on 3/24/13): Product Rating:

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.
Great Add to Oatmeal Stout Review by B (Posted on 4/6/13): Product Rating:

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.
