Rock Bottom Milwaukee Chocolate Stout

Brewed by Rock Bottom Milwaukee
Style: Sweet Stout
Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA

On Tap in Milwaukee- Drank while splitting a huge ass chocolate fudge brownie with vanilla icecream ontop and it was a hell of a combo. Pours a pitch black color, tan head. The aroma is feint chocolate, and astringent roasted. Though by my own admittance I was smoking, the person I was with was smoking, and we were sitting in the smoking section. You get the point. The flavor was good delicious chocolate mixed with a good roast charachter as well as some hops tossed in for good measure. Not bad, though if given the chance I’d take the brownie over the brew.

Was listed as Black Sheep Stout, but I ’m fairly certain it’s the same beer. Pours to a dark black body with a lasting brown head. Decent lacing. The flavor is chocolatey and roasty with lots of black patent. Bitter cocoa. Hints of plums hide in the finish. The aroma is lacking. Light black patent. The palate is sweet, medium-full bodied, dry on the tip of the tongue. Seems to be more of an Irish non-nitro stout. I also had their cask version. It seemed to be much smoother in flavor and palate. More milk chocolate aroma.

Milwaukee. Muddy and light midnight brown in color, with opacity that’s shielded by the plastic patio cup, though a dark tan head perseveres. Dark chocolate and black patent nail the nose along with deep roasted espresso and mocha beans. Caramel truffles add their own sense of aromatic vibrancy. Pacific Northwest hops surround the flavor, making up for its lack of palate density, imparting a touch of mango to the chocolate covered espresso bean flavor. Caramel weaves through unsweetened bakers chocolate bricks. Bitterness sidesteps carbonation to amplify the tingly mouthfeel. Medium-bodied format hits the espresso baked brownie substance right on the head, grainily disintegrating in the finish with a hint of coffee flavor additive to a lactic café concoction of some sort or another. Decent.
