Originally based on https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/1647/chocolate-imperial-stout. Mike and I brewed the same recipe in his garage. I used Safale US-05 while he used White Labs WLP004 Irish Ale liquid yeast. I used his aluminum turkey roaster pot on the burner. It turned out good enough.
