Fort Collins Chocolate Stout

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

Pours fairly black from 12 oz bottle. little to no foamy head. Aroma of roasted barley malts, a bit of chocolates. Flavour is of burnt, watery roasted malted oats with a tinge flavour of coffee. Not very impressive, though an easy drinkable brew. Kinda a half slinger.....

12 oz bottle pours a dark brown black with little head. Nose is chocolatey and old grains. Simiilar flavors. Watery hardly any roasted flavors. A touch sweet and not very tasty.

Draft. Deep black coloring. Soapy, thin tan head. Very faint and almost eerily absent aroma. Licorice, chocolatey mix in flavoring. Not worth a second go or much more description here

This beer had a little chocolate to it, however I felt that coffee flavors and aromas were far more dominant in this beer. I liked the mouthfeel of this stout, as it had more carbonation than most stouts. As always, I like stouts with a high ABV, with a minimum of 6%. I liked this stout and found it very drinkable, but I would have liked more chocolate flavor and a higher ABV. I would buy this again.

(12oz bottle) Brown-black body topped by medium brown head that leaves nice lacing. Aroma is medium sweet, roast, medium milk chocolate. Taste is medium sweet, milk chocolate, cola, some roast, light earthy. Light-medium body, light creaminess.

this was a very good stout. Rich and malty with a ’graininess’ mouthfeel. Not nearly as good as Brooklyn’s of Young’s - but a good representation of the choclate stout. Fort Collins is proving to be an above the norm brewery.

Blah. Bad attempt at a chocolate stout. Just stay clear of this one altogether.

Pours a black, opaque body with a thin tan head that fades quickly. The nose is of coffee, baking cocoa and faint hops. The flavour is mostly roasted coffee with dry hops and some acrid fruit and lactic notes. There is a milky quality to the flavour, but it is mostly disrupted by the over-active, sharp carbonation. The ending palate is watery, dry and completely lacking any lingering of chocolate. Mid-palate there is also an absence of chocolate. So how is this a chocolate stout? The dry hoppiness is the high point of this brew. I’m surprised it’s rated as high as it is.
