Chocolate Hazelnut Porter/Stout is OK

The CHP I brewed turned out fine. It was a little roastier than I would like it to be, so maybe next time I would cut back a little on the chocolate malt, and roasted barley. The amount of unsweetened chocolate I used seemed to be fine. I can taste it, but it is not overwhelming--- in the background.

However, I have a bit of trouble tasting any hazelnut. If I concentrate, maybe I can pick out the flavor, but I think it is more of a mental taste, then a physical one. So, next time I should up the amount of hazelnut extract.
