Arcadia Cocoa Loco Triple Chocolate Stout

Brewed by Arcadia Brewing Company
Style: Foreign Stout
Battle Creek, Michigan USA

22 oz bottle shared by Tmoney99 at the Cinncy gathering. A bitter light choco on the nose. A dark almost black pour with a tan head. A hard semi swee flavor of chocolate that changes to a hard bitter finish (like extra dark choco). Good even carbonation and mouthfeel that combine to make this a nice beer. Good beer but a bit rough around the edges.

Black, more or less opaque, with a big, but short-lived light brown head. Lightly sweet nose, touch of molasses, some metallic notes. Dry, musty flavor, a hint of sulphur, surprisingly boring.

Bottle sampled. Pours jet black in color with a small tan head. Big aroma of roasted malt, and chocolate. Flavor is moderately sweet with chocolate, molasses, sticky malt, and a hint of coffee with a light bitterness finish. A decent foreign stout

lovely poor lots of choc on the nose, taste is great smooth dry stout with a good choc stout presince, somewhat chaulky mouth feel . but very enjoyable, dark dark brwon with some decent head. At beer bistro

Bottle - 22oz. Pour mainly consists of a massive brown head with a little bit of a dark brown body sitting at the bottom of the glass. As the head dies down, khaki lacing begins to form on the side of the glass. Aroma smells of alcohol... that’s about it... chocolate if I’m feeling generous and being swayed by what I expect from the label, but I’m not picking it up clearly. Flavor is roasted malt and chocolate with a bit of a peat/smoke aftertaste that develops before fading back into chocolaty overtones. Disappointment.

Bottle. Almost black with a rather small head. Aroma and flavour of vomit, moldy flourbags, chocolate and hops. Hopefully this is not the way it’s supposed to be.

Pours pitch black with no head. Nose is subdued. Slight amount of stout character. The chocolate just barely gets out to your nose. I am giving it a 3 because for a double stout, this should be showing my nose a bit more. Flavor is more towards the roasted side with a slightly metallic after taste. Feel is low on bubble, thick on liquid. Sorry, but I have to give this one low scores. Cocoa Loco? Where’s the cocoa man?? A sad example of the style. And for the price...forget about it.

Dark beer with a foamy chocolate milk head. The nose has the dark chocolate you would expect, with something lactic in it. Dusty chocolate, raisen toast and that lactic acidity. Decent chocolate beer.
