This is a pretty comprehensive four-part series of videos on brewing a chocolate stout. I've included parts one and two since they show the ingredients used in chocolate stouts and the beginning steps of brewing (which are pretty universal for all beers). If you want parts three and four, just search for the videos on Google.
(Video disclaimer: The brewer guy, Brian Vandemark, is very cheesy. Try to take him seriously though because it appears he does know what he is doing, even if he comes across like a creeper in the video.)
Part 1 analysis: The amount of chocolate ingredients used in stouts always blows me away. Listen closely: A half pound of cocoa powder and 1.5 pounds of chocolate malt are included.
Video 2 analysis: You can already see the chocolate coloration of the brew in this part of the video. The stuff he is making is obviously not the final product. In fact, it's not even alcoholic yet. But it's a good visual of when a stout starts to look like the beer you expect in your bottle.
