Arcadia Cocoa Loco Triple Chocolate Stout

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

Pours thick black with a tan head. Aroma is sweet, chocolate, molasses, soy sauce, toffee, black pepper, and woody notes. Flavor is not quite as impressive, initial sweet chocolate notes give way to tobacco, wood, rye toast, a nutty bit, tobacco, and a dry, lingering finish. Not as smooth as it should be, maybe if it sat for a year it would be better. Very good, nonetheless.

bomber from village beer merchant in buffalo. pours a semi-dense black with a tan head. aroma of dark malt, chocolate, dark fruit, caramel and lactose. the flavour start thin with chocolate and burnt sugar, caramel and dark fruit come next. a semi-dry lactose mouthfeel. it feel artificial thick. its not bad but its not great. does not deliver in the chocolate department. better then most foreign stouts.

Black pour with small tan head. coffee and chocolate in the aroma. Mocha, coffee malty, rather sweet in the middle and some warmth in the finish. Not exceptionally complex or robust but not bad, a little thin on the palate.

On tap at Mr. Goodbar, significant chocolate and coffee, but otherwise unexceptional when so many are doing the similar, so similar ranking. Brown with white head. On the sweeter side.

BOTTLE: black pour, small head. Thin body, carbonated, lots of cocoa and some coffee roast on the nose and taste.

Pours out a dark brown color with a smaller tan head. aroma is choco, malt, and coffee. Flavor is sweet with a small coffee finish. too thin.

Got this one from a bargain bin. Was very pleased with how drinkable it was. Nice balance of cocoa and coffee, very creamy, just the right amount of sweetness, and alcohol. Nothing intense about it, but not a train wreck either.
