Fort Collins Double Chocolate Stout

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

Pours jet black with a small light brown head. Aroma of chocolate and coffee. Mouth feel is very thin for a stout, which is my biggest disappointment with this beer. Roasted malty-ness up front with chocolate and coffee along of a hint of bitter hops at the tale end. Pretty decent beer for the price, however, there are much, much better beers out there for the style.

Whiffs of chocolate. Poured a midnight brown with a redish tint to it. Tasted like chocolate and roasted malts. A bit thin for my liking, but over all very drinkable for a high abv beer.

22 oz bottle. Chocolate and roast aroma. Clear very dark mahogany brown with fluffy tan head. Nice coffee and chocolate roastyness. Full creamy body and mouthfeel. Finish is medium with enough bitterness to balance. Well executed beer! Delicious.

dark tan pour, some light brown head sweet chocolate, roasted barley aroma, a bit of green olives mild flavor, alcohol and some roasted grain, a bit of coffee in the finish very nice, creamy, velvety smooth texture

Pours opaque black with a fleeting tan head. Chocolate, coffee and alcohol come to the nose from this lightly sweet chocolaty brew. Little bitterness. Tasty!

22 oz bottle courtesy of Acknud. Pours a dark black/brown color with a 1/2" tan head. Aroma is chocolate as you might expect as well as malts. Nice velvety smooth palate with a substantial presence. Flavor was chocolate and roasted malt. Maybe some coffee notes. Very enjoyable.

Bomber from Liquor Max. Pours a very dark black with minor ruby glints. The head is tan, multifinger and creamy. The aroma is just chocolate. Body is no more than medium, and the carbonation is creamy. Flavor is sweet, chocolate with hints of treacle and coffee. A bit of oaky astringency comes out towards the finish. Heat is detectable, perhaps too much so. Still, it’s a good tasting drink.

Bomber. Poured clear deep brown with a short-lived, but easily-resuscitated cap of tan head. The aroma was on the sweet side and all about the chocolate.. caramel was evident as support as it warmed up.. some spicy notes joined as well, but it all came back to chocolate. The flavor had sweet, but not necessarily succulent chocolates at the core with light-to-moderate roast to it.. coffee and lesser woodsy bitterness on the edges.. finished sweet with a bit of a peppery alcohol and bitter coffee kick right at the back. Medium-bodied with a little more carbonation than I’d like on the palate.. flow was OK, but it got a bit rough on the back. Decent stuff.
