Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout

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

12 oz. midnight black pour from bottle. Roasted coffee and chocolates on the nose. Mild burn going down. Delivers as promised, simply great.

Straight black pour dark as you can get ... tan head light lacing chocolate roasted malt aroma creamy head medium mellow malty taste with a lot of chocolate flavor some dark fruits ... as it gets warmer you taste the alcohol a little in the flavor .... a solid stout that has mostly chocolate dominating

Rich dark brown/black color; Heavy creamy body; Aroma of malt, dry fruit and some coffee; Flavor of rich roasted malt, dark chocolate, caramel, and some fruit overtones; Well balanced, with a hint of bitterness; The alcohol does linger for awhile; Really good stout.

355 mL bottle. Poured jet black with a thick 2 finger head that surprisingly didn’t last. Aroma of deep, dark, chocolate malts (obviously) and alcohol. The taste is just about the same with what I would imagine drinking a bar of bittersweet chocolate would taste like. The booze wasn’t hidden well, but I think that’s a plus in this case. The bitter chocolate taste with a definite booze taste finishes surprisingly smooth. I loved this beer. The fact that it was a cold December night didn’t hurt :). Definitely recommended.

355ml bottle. 09-10 Vintage. Pours black. Thin dark amber head, that disappears quickly. Molasses, dried fruits, butterscotch on the nose. Sweet, lots of dried fruit, expresso with plenty of black licorice in the bitter grapefruit finish. VERY boozey. The alcohol is very much present.

dark chocolate smell, opaque brown-black with a low beige head, taste is a bar of bitter dark chocolate the over 75% kind. boozy smell and taste too, just plain alcohol. thanks to the lcbo this bottle was only 2.60, and was worth that for a wierd dark chocolate in a bottle experience, but so straightforward and just... overpowering, wasnt the imperial stout i was expecting to enjoy tonight, though the name does deliver. difficult to finish 355mls

12oz bottle. Poured black with a huge, brown, long lasting head. Great aroma is of dark fruit, coffee, dark chocolate, licorice and some bready notes. Full smooth body with dark fruit sweetness is balanced by espresso coffee, lots of burnt grain and alcohol as well. Finish is huge and dry. Great beer.

Let me first say, that I was friggin stoked to try this beer, I have literally been waiting to drink one of these for a year now, and now I finally get to try one. That being said, I was kind of let down, but just a teeny bit. Southern Tier Choklat received a lower rating than this, but I would consider it a better representation of a chocolate stout. Pours a motor oil black with a tan head. The aroma is big licorice, dark berries, maraschino cherry, and bitter chocolate with lighter notes of sweet alcohol. The flavour is flipping delicious, huge black licorice, sweet chocolate, bitter chocolate, resinous hops, more black licorice and dark chocolate with a lingering alcohol warm sweetness in the finish. A little thin on the mouthfeel for an imperial, and the alcohol was a bit prominent, one of the more boozy stouts i’ve had, not really as chocolaty as I would have expected, but still outright delicious, might try and cellar on of these.
