Chocolate stout

[neilb]

After brewing a St. Peter's cream stout, I am really pleased with how it has turned out and loving each bottle
However, I now have a slight dilemma which I could use some help and advice on. I'd like to brew a chocolate stout kit next and can't decide on whether to go for the Wilko Chocmeister kit or Mangrove Jack's roasted stout, or any other kit anybody can recommend.
I recently brewed an MJ's American pale ale and I'm extremely impressed with it but I've not brewed any of the Wilko's kits yet.
Any advice help or suggestions welcome

If you like the St Peter’s kit (and I’ve done it - it’s excellent), why don’t you add cocoa nibs to that? I did a coffee stout with that kit and it was superb.

Hi, Saw your thread and wondered which way you went in the end? Was it successful and what will you be changing for this year?

I went for the Wilko Chocmeister Stout and added 50g of chocolate malt for extra chocolatey-ness
I've just done my second batch and it's lovely

Done the St Peters it's a great kit, if you like coffee with your chocolate, I haven't come across a better kit than the American Mocha Porter (Youngs).

Miles better than the St Peters, but you have to like coffee
