Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout

Brewed by Brooklyn Brewery
Style: Imperial Stout
Brooklyn, New York USA

Draft last night with dinner at my local. Again, oh how I love revolving taps. A lucious rich creamy rolicking head sits upon the slick, full bodied, brownish black shimmering beer like a royals crown. Close to the beer nose slowy wafts of chocolate and touch of burnt toast. Body is big. Even a small sip fills the mouth with fullness of this brew. First touches to toung are all balanced yet intense chocolate and dark malts. Nearly chewy. Second half has hints of coffee and ripening stone fruit. Finish has a sweet velvety tones and lingers. A very nice Impy.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a thick, oily black with virtually no head. What little head that is there is a deep tan. Definite roasted malt, chocolate, and raisin notes on the nose. Medium carbonation with an oily mouthfeel to start, but it finishes a little dry. It has a certain vinous quality to it. Heavy coffee, dark malt, chocolate, and dark berry notes. Some alcohol on the palate, but for being 10%, the alcohol is well hidden. Solid and well rounded, I really like this imperial stout!

Bottle. Completely black in color. A substantial head that is the color of the foam on a root beer float. The head was long-lasting. Full mouth feel. A hint of chocolate in the smell, but I don’t pick up much chocolate in flavor. Very malty flavor, slightly bitter finish. Excellent

Black pour with a caramel 2 finger head. Roasty chocolate and coffee aroma. Rich sweet roasted malt flavor with chocolate notes in the finish, which is lingering and soft. Palate is smooth and velvety.

Not a bad beer, poured a cool black color with a tan head. good chocolate flavor.

The only drawback from this being a perfect beer is the high alcohal content. It is evident in the smell and taste, but the malt flavours are strong and ecelently balanced to help the high percent go down smooth. Not too much aroma. Emphasis on great chocolate malt flavour.

From 330ml bottle. Black as the night. Great aroma, various roasted malts. Flavour of dark chocolate and roasted malts. Very dry mouth feel You can sure taste the 10% ABV. This is one hell of a stout. Good for the Canadian winter.

12 ounce bottle into a snifter thanks kegbear. Damn blacker than Satans soul but smells way better. Really roasted taste but a little alcohol in the finish balances it really well. Solid Imp stout but I’ve definitely had better but would definitely buy again
