Medium Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, coffee and caramel, very light touch of vanilla.
Poured black, with a nice foamy. semi-creamy tan head that very slowly receded into a thin cream cap. Left good lacing. Taste of roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, a touch of burn malt, caramel, dark chocolate, very light hint of vanilla. Body is light to medium, texture is very creamy, slightly softer than average carbonation, a nice dry bittersweet finish. I really liked this stout! Excellent job by Samuel Adams.
The only criticism is I like the body to be a touch heavier and the aroma a bit more robust. However, this is one excellent beer and I am definitely adding this to my favorite rotation of beer. Served in a Pint.

Aug 31, 2008 I’ve always enjoyed Sam Adams Cream Stout, yet it can’t hang with the great taste of Young’s Double Chocolate Stout. Still, this one has a nice aroma, looks nice and dark, and has a very nice flavor. It’s very smooth and creamy. The chocolate undertones are noticeable, although weaker than what I prefer. Still, it’s an excellent beer that finishes great!

Aug 28, 2008 La bière est de couleur noire avec des reflets brun et une belle mousse chocolat qui laisse ses traces au fil des gorgée sur la paroit du verre. Au nez on respire des arômes de chocolat noir, de café, de caramel brulé ainsi une pointe de vanille. En bouche le corps est moyen-rond avec une effervescence moyenne. On goute des saveurs de grains torréfiés, de café, de chocolat noir, de vanille et de caramel. La finale est seche.

Aug 20, 2008 Opaque dark brown with red tint, thin tan head, and some lacing. Chicory, mild coffee, and malted milk aromas. Soft and creamy, gentle mouthfeel. Mild, balanced, malty, creamy, with light mocha. Simple, on thin and watery side.

Aug 19, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark black with a tan head. Smells like chocolate and roasted caramel. The taste is somewhat sweeter but not to bad. Taste is somewhat like coffee. Very decent beer
