Ommegang Chocolate Indulgence

Brewed by Brewery Ommegang (Moortgat)
Style: Stout
Cooperstown, New York USA

750ml bottle. Based on the name, I expected lots of chocolate from start to finish. Instead, the chocolate is muted and the aftertaste highlights the Belgian yeast. This tasted more like Allagash Black than a robust chocolate stout. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Average size, frothy brown head that sticks around. Dark brown to black body. The aroma contains notes of roasted malts, espresso, sweet chocolate and cherry. The flavor was moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. The finish was moderately dry and moderately bitter. Medium body with a smooth texture and lively carbonation. There was a slight chalkiness in the texture at the finish. The aftertaste had notes earthiness and mustiness. Enjoyable.

Bottle courtesy of RidleyBrewery. Pours black with brownish head. Aroma, notes of bitter chocolat and roastiness. Taste is roasted, charred smokeyness, light bitter chocoloat mixed with hops. I found it to be weak in chocolat. With a name like indulgence, one would think this would be loaded with the latter. Mouthfeel was a let down.

(thanks to mcbackus for this)black body with a thick brown head.aroma is bitter cocoa,chocolate,and metal.flavor is much of the same with the metal dominating the flavor.and thats not a good thing.

Bottle at home ... thanks to a trader, who escapes me just now .... deep black with a thick off white head... roast malts and some chocolate in nose little spice and maybe a tiny touch of smokeyness... deep rich malt ... quite a lot of chocolate ... infact it seem to grow in chocolateness as its left to breath ... smooth and a little silky... medium body ... probably not Chocolate Indulgence (see southern tier chokolate for that) but it is a damn good stout

750 mL C&C from Wine Warehouse. Very dark brown with a medium head that lasts forever. Strong cocoa aroma with some spice. Taste is chocolate, roasted malt, coffee and hops. Medium body and very silky texture. A little bit too much on the decadent side.

beautiful chocolate black with imperial stoutish appearance... strong hops with chocolate in a smooth but rather sparkly texture... this is a great stout

750ml bottle: poured dark brown with a fairly large brown head. Roasted malt, vanilla, chocolate in the aroma. Moderately dry flavor with chocolate notes and roasted malt. High carbonation. Good.

Pours deep brown with a fine, tan head. Aroma is yeasty with vanilla and chocolate notes. Strong bitter chocolate flavor with vanilla and yeasty flavors standard of Ommegang. Very good.
