Fort Collins Chocolate Stout

Brewed by Fort Collins Brewery
Style: Stout
Fort Collins, Colorado USA

roasty chocolatey and hoppy. now that makes a good chocolate stout. just a bit of tree bark and bitter keeps it a grown up drink. head like a rootbeer and sweet without the rb flavor. refreshing and touch of earth gratefully not thick in the body at all. what i would expect from fort collins. just a touch of leather.

12 oz bottle from TC Craft. Dark brown pour with a thin tan head. Aroma and flavor are deep roasted chocolate. Finish is smooth dark chocolate. Very good, not special.

Aroma is pretty sweet like most chocolate stouts. Malt dominates with a little smokiness and roasted coffee. Hops arent really present Pours a nice 2 finger chocolate head. Body is black in color. Head retention and lacing are good Flavor is light like a porter. Sweetness from the aroma isnt as evident on the palate. Roasted coffee is more present as well as some bitterness. Decent flavors but nothing special Mouth feel is pretty light, almost watery. Beer is aggressively carbonated. Head slightly contributes to the body but not enough to overlook the thin consistency Overall it’s above average. It is sessionable but kinda bland. A decent beer but dont think I’d buy again considering the tons of other awesome stouts available in Colorado

pours black and thin with nice size tan head aromas of soy sauce,roasted malts and hops what I do not smell or taste is the chocolate whats up with that it is great to live in the midwest where stouts are stouts

Draught. black with medium tan head. Aroma is chocolate, burnt notes consisting of some coffee and some light caramel. Flavor is cream, chocolate, roasted malts, and light citrus and even lighter fruit that is almost completely masked by malts and chocolate. A little too thin...especially if you see the Double Chocolate Stout.

Very chocolaty and malty. Dark and full of character. A little bit of hops and malts. Not too sweet, and just a little bitter.

Bottle Pours a good dark brown with a good tan head. The head is froathy and lasting. It leaves some okay lacing. Aroma is faint, but I get some dark chocolate, and coffee. Has a decent carbonation. The flavors are subtle but good. Nice blending of malts and hops. Has a roasted flavor. Has a lighter body. The texture is fizzy water. Has a light finish with a soft finish. Was hoping for more heartiness, but not awful.

This one seems a bit underrated. Aroma is not great for the style, just some dark chocolate. Appearance is fine, dark brown with reddish highlights, with thick tan head and some lacing. Palate is chewy, bitter, roasted malt and mochachino. I liked this.
