I brewed this once, this now includes pictures and some adjustments which will be my next brew attempt. I don't have a good name for it yet, but I usually do that after I play with the recipe and make a couple batches. Even though this was my first batch, I feel it came out really clean with a really great taste. The chocolate wasn't over powering, but on the next batch I think I will add some carapils for better head retention.
