Bison Organic Chocolate Stout

Brewed by Bison Brewing Company
Style: Stout
Berkeley, California USA

Black with medium beige head. Sweet aroma with plenty of roasted malt and coffee/chocolate notes. Sweet flavourwith some hard roasted malt, dark bitter chocolate and coffee notes. Sweet and roasted finish.

You can certainly smell the cocoa from the onset... and not much else. Opaque appearance, not even a hint of light through this stuff. Flavor is all cocoa, not very stout to be called a stout. Palate is slightly lively, but nothing to call home about, which sums up this beer.

Tap @ Green Dragon... Poured black with a thin, brown head. Aroma was nutty with chocolate. Flavors were really different from the aroma. Very bitter and strong sense of alcohol notes. Was also chalky and you can taste the bitter dark chocolate. Maybe molasses in the finish.

Deep chocolate aroma and thick chocolate and cherry flavor, yet dry enough to be drinkable.

Getting my notebook online. Bottle. Pours black. Flavors off! Taste like they made a stout and put a bunch of cocoa from the cupboard in the bottle. Not that good at all.

Bottle. Dark, almost black beer with a light tan head. Chocolate aroma with light roast/coffee. Roasty, chocolate, malt flavor with backing hops. Medium-plus bodied. Lingering roast, some chocolate, and malt. More hops than expected for a chocolate stout.

Bottled. Fine stout. Pours a very dark brown with a thin tan head. Aroma and flavour dominated by roasted malt and bitter, unsweetened chocolate. VERY easy drinking.

Pours black and is brown ruby at the edges, has a small to medium tan bubbled head, left some tanned lacing, nose is predominately chocolate and milk chocolate, roasted malt and licorice, flavor of roasted malt with chocolate and coffee influences, some sweetness, easy to drink or gulp, some bitterness at the finish from hops and roasted malt, this is dry and leaves some roast malt flavor at the finish, I got a medium mouth feel and some creaminess on the palate, a good Chocolate Stout.
