This is an award winning homebrew recipe. This beer has a big, creamy mouthfeel, lots of spicy notes from the rye and fruity esters from the hefeweizen yeast. If you like roggenbier, you will love chocolate roggen.
Extract Version
Unfortunately this is very difficult to make as an extract beer. To get the rye character you really need to mash the grains. You could try with flaked rye and steep that along with some chocolate malt.
Enjoy this out of the ordinary beer!
