Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout

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

"Winter 09-10" very dark pour, huge frothy beige head. aroma is very roasty, and a bit sour; there’s chocolate milk, coffee, dark doughy bread, grain, and alcohol. flavor is slightly more sour, with medium sweetness and bitterness, and even a bit salty. body is a bit thin, carbonation is mild but nice. finish is sour and roasty alcohol.

330 ml bottle from LCBO. Pours a dark virtually black with small mocha head. Nose is most prominently of alcohol with chocolate and dark fruit also present. Flavour is quite interesting - starts mostly dark fruit and alcohol moving to chocolate and finishing with a lingering coffee bitterness/roastness. Thick mouthfeel, big body. A very nice beer.

Pours solid black with a thick oily brown head. Aroma of toasted marshmallow and milk choclate. Taste is sweet milk chocolate with some bitter coffee bean. Milky creamy feel and some hop finish.

Aroma of dark chocolate, coffee and alcohol. Pours black with a minimal off-white head that leaves little lacing. Taste is slightly bitter coming from the dark chocolate and coffee but also sweet. Slightly chewy mouthfeel, really a super beer.

From a 12 oz into a snifter. Smells of alcohol, butterscotch and bitter black chocolate. Pours with an inch or two of head which quickly dissipates leaving a little bit of lacing, but not much. Taste is of alcohol, dark chocolate, coffee and smoke. Mouthfeel is very thick and hearty. Not much of a bitter aftertaste, which is good. Overall, a very good stout. I don’t like the up front alcohol kick but hey, it’s 10% so what do I expect. It is an excellent value at $8 a four pack. I’m letting a couple sit for a year and trying again, so I’ll update then. I’d happily drink again.

330 ML Bottle in USA. A very deep dark roastiness prevades the senses with a nice hop bitterness followed by a slight malt sweetness as it finishes. A very nice solid stout best one I ever had!

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
