Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout

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

Pours black with a small spotty head and very little lace. The aroma is awesome and for me the absolute highlight of this beer notes of plum, chocolate. raisins, whiskey and red wine are abound. The flavor is dominated burnt toast and fresh hops, I really like the hoppiness of this beer. There are notes of dark chocolate, wood, and some raisins... seems a little grainy and a tad messy. But I like this beer overall.

this beer is wonderful. It is an interesting imperial stout in that it is amazingly smooth and drinkable. It has a nice roatiness on the nose, some chocolate and a hint of coffee. The taste is really great. Not qute the hoppiness of other imperial stouts and less coffee notes as welll. AS the name suggests more chocolate and dark fruit flavour with nice touch of sweetness. This beer is amongst my favourite imperials for pure enjoyment Great balance between superior flavour and drinkablility

Bottle, finially I found this shit. Actually just made a clone of this and it is waiting in the bottles for a few weeks until its ready. Pours a solid black beer with a medium tan head. Aroma is sweet chocolate witha note of the coffee. Flavor is sweet dark fruit chocolate, then the bitter chocolate and a roast coffee flavor and a dry bitter hop finish. Very nice, at a not so nice 10.99 four pack price

Bottle. Black with a milk chocolate head. The aroma is sweet american stout with a touch of chocolate and roasted malts. The flavor is sweet with a dose of sour that flows into roasted malts and finished with creamy milk chocolate. There’s coffee if you search for it, and the exhale has some fruitiness as well.

From the 12 fl. oz. bottle. 2009 batch. Lot code is smudged. It pours brownish-black with a one finger, foamy tan head and long lasting lacing. The aroma is of mild chocolate malts and the higher ABV is virtually unnoticeable. The mouthfeel is full bodied. The taste is also a very mild chocolate malt and clean hop finish. This is beautifully put together and fabulous for the winter season.

Great complex chocolate lfavors with some dark fruit and alcohol esters. Hight ABV didn’t overwhelm the taste or aroma.

12oz bottle. A super dark beer with little head and a roasty aroma. The mouth feel is filled with licorice and a very sweet finish.

I like commercial stouts (Guinness, Boddingtons), and this is in a much different class than those two. Only had one, so need to try another one to really tell if I like it or not. Very dark color, not to much of a head and a roasty flavor with a touch of sweetness.
