Almost black beer with big brown head. Aroma is pleasant: sweet chocolate and roasted malts. Flavour is quite roasted and surprisingly, almost dry in the end and hint of cholate is still found. Balanced and nice to drink. Young’s Double Chocolate Stout is balanced beer but maybe chololate could have been even more present. Anyway, now chocolate is a spice and it won’t take all attention; there are strong know-how behind this beer.

Draft, at 99 Bottles. Dark chocolate brown, almost black, with the creamiest medium large head. Nose of chocolate, with a hint of dark coffee. Subtle sweet taste, dry to the finish. Overall very good.

Looks like and pours like a regular stout, the appearance is good. The nose is very sweet, but the initial taste has a slight bitterness to it. Finishes with a nice after-taste. This is a great beer and very drinkable.

Smells like a chocolate milk shake maybe with a little bit of coffee. Pours dark brown with a frothy brown head. Flavor is sweet and chocolatey with some roasty too. Smooth and creamy. An awesome beer.

This is a wonderful chocolate stout. The aroma is of a deep rich chocolate, the head is creamy. Highly recommend adding 2 oz. ofLindemans Framboise for a delicious after dinner drink.

One of my favorite chocolate stouts. Pours black with creamy tan head. Notes of bitter dark chocolate throughout. Bitter finish.

Coffee-like colour with a creamy tan head. Aroma is obviously chocolate. It’s also a very flavorful beer. Flavors of dark chocolate and some coffee. The aftertaste is a little dry, and has quite a bitterness to it. I loved it.

Can. Pours a this, red brown black that’s fairly translucent. Smallish yet creamy off-white head. Nose is fairly chocolatey, some caramel, quite sweet. Chocolate and caramel in mouth,. Impression of some alcohol in the nose, though I can’t figure out why this is since this is under 6%. Sweet with a toasted grainy malt character. Body thin, typical of an English stout. Good for cooking with. Makes an excellent chocolate stout pudding.
