Basic Batch

For this Golden Stout, we skipped the usual dark malts and instead brewed with whole coffee beans, cocoa nibs, vanilla, and chocolate. The result is a brew bursting with flavors reminiscent of your favorite holiday drinks, cozy puffy vests, and warm furry boots.

Method

Preparation Steps

Prepare the Hazelnuts

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the hazelnuts out on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let them cool.

Infuse Vodka with Hazelnuts

Once the hazelnuts have cooled, place them in a large glass jar. Pour the vodka over the hazelnuts, ensuring they are completely submerged. Seal the jar tightly and let it sit in a cool, dark place for 2 weeks, shaking it gently every few days.

Make the Syrup

After 2 weeks, in a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool. Once cooled, add the vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and almond extract.

Combine and Strain

After the 2-week infusion, strain the vodka through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean bowl to remove the hazelnuts. Discard the hazelnuts. Mix the infused vodka with the prepared syrup until well combined.

Bottle and Age

Pour the finished Frangelico into clean bottles. Seal tightly and let it age for an additional week before using, allowing the flavors to meld.
