Was thinking about throwing some rum into one. Anyone tried this? Any other ideas?

I think someone put some rum essence in a stout a few months back. Not sure how they got on.

I have an anti idea. I put some choc mint essense in a coopers chocolate stout a while back. Oh so very minty and not so chocolatey!

Last stout I done I put cocoa and cold brewed coffee into it,  turned out damn good

This sounds interesting. Not a fan of coffee, but so long as the coffee taste wasn't overpowering, I'd like to hear more.  :)

I'll pass on the mint suggestion all the same.  ;) ;)

The coffee was very subtle,  only thing was,  if I had a few at night I didn't sleep Great .  Not so sure if that was the caffeine or not

the last odd thing I put into a stout was a load of crushed up roast monkeynuts.
I loved it, everyone else didn't

Sounds to me something more suited to a brown ale.  :)

i was thinking of doing something similar but with chestnuts
fermenting - peach wheat, mango wheat

drinking - whiskey stout
