Chocolate Raspberry Lightning

Hopefully this will be a well balanced chocolate raspberry imperial stout.
i'm using rasperry puree at a rate of 1.44pd per gallon. i'm also going
to use 3/4 of a cup of ghiraldeli unsweetened cocoa powder. i usually
use 1/2 cup but figure with this mega brew i'll need more. i'm doing a
test batch of 2 gallons this week so i'll now how it turns out.
