Ommegang Chocolate Indulgence

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

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.

Bottle from Oldsmar Tap House. It pours a dark brownish-black with a slight off-white/ tan head. It has a very big dark chocolate and a weaker, but very noticeable coffee presence, too. The cocoa is very noticeable with the slightly bitter finish.

Very nice stout, pours black with a fluffy brown/tan head. Nice chocolate/coffee aroma in this one, with a hint of belgian style yeast. Nice cocoa and coffee taste, with a smooth slightly bitter finish. Would drink again.

Thanks to Secret Santa (mcbackus) for this! Pours dark brown to black with a tan head of good size, lacing, and duration. Aroma is subtle but very nice; Dry cocoa powder, wood, crushed leaves, rye, and maybe just a hint of licorice. In the aroma, the chocolate is really nice. Tastes a bit more normal with a flavor of dark chocolate, very dry cocoa, unsweetened coffee, wood, toast, and a bit of caramel. Finishes lightly bitter with a pleasant coffee aftertaste, but the salty, cloying sensation on my throat isn’t pleasant at all. I don’t like it when a beer’s finish encourages so many sips of water. Mouthfeel was medium bodied, carbonation is fairly high, but not too much, and the beer is highly drinkable. Good enough, but with a tweaked flavor and finish, it could be awesome.

Poured a dark brown. Fragrant cocoa, in the nose. A little bit of coffee, red fruit to complement the cocoa. More tartness than I care for. Really not bad, an enjoyable drink, but not worth the $16. As a side note, Ratebeer needs to seperate Belgian stouts out from the others, they are very different.

The aroma is sharp and smoky with light chocolate notes and stronger dark fruit notes. The body is black with a light mocha colored head that is pinky thin. Sharp, lightly acidic and chocolaty with coffee bitterness and acidity thrown in for good measure. Faintly metallic and tart with and ashy chalky finish.

750ml corked bottle. "True" Belgian style Chocolate Stout. Cocoa Ale or something along those lines, would be a better fit in my opinion. Bellyaching aside, this is one of the finer "Cocoa Ales" I’ve had. Nice sweet chocolate aroma. Attractive opaque black appearance. Mellow carbonation. Chocolate syrup taste that comes off surprisingly well. The ABV is perfect for the style, the beer maintains a solid body while being very drinkable. Exceptional beer, recommended.

not bad...chocolate and alcohol brew with a port like velvet palate. really nice chocolate flavors. touch of fruit and i like the complementary interplay between the beer itself and the better tasting foam. a sipper indeed as the brew flattens out as it sits
