Chocolate Milk VS. Coffee Milk

Im excited to announce a pair of milk stouts for the colder months! Most people love chocolate milk and us rhode islanders love coffee milk. I used the same recipe for both brews except for one additive.

Organic cacao powder for the chocolate milk and preservative free coffee syrup for the coffee milk.
I also decided to play with some hops I have not used yet, Newport @ 11.8 AA. 

I hit my gravity spot on with the chocolate milk stout at 1.058. I knew that with the added sugar in the coffee syrup that my OG in my second batch would be a little higher. I was right and hit a 1.060 gravity reading of the coffee milk stout.
