Youngs Double Chocolate Stout

Brewed by Wells & Youngs
Style: Stout
Bedford, England

Bottle: No doubt about the chocolate in the aroma. A slight coffee smell too, but mostly dominated by the chocolate. Appearance is very dark almost black. Nice tan creamy head that dies after a minute or so. Chocolate malt flavor is great. There’s a cream and coffee flavor too but it’s the chocolate that mostly stands out. Aftertaste is relatively short and suprise, it’s also chocolate. Great mouthfeel. I’ve never been a fan of dark beers, but this is incredible. Then again this is not your average dark beer. I know it’s early in my ratings, but I never thought a dark beer would ever top my list.

Thick fine head and dark as night. Thick nose of malty cherry and chocolate. Fine bubbles, rich, chocolate, coffee, tar, faint slightly sour chocolate. Some bitter with tons of chocolate. Very Rich!

Poured very dark brown/black with foamy tan coloured head. Aroma of malt and chocolate. Taste some alcohol, but dominated by chocolate and malts. Creamy on the palate, roasty and smooth,. Quite dry with a slightly bitter finish. Probably the best stout I have ever tasted.

Bottled. Black opaque with brown foamy head. Lacing. Aroma of black coffee along with dark chocolate. Strong black coffee flavour along with roasted malt. Dark chocolate and roast in finish. Chocolatish aftertaste.

One of my Favorite stouts. The slightly bitter, slightly chocolate aftertaste lingers ever so slightly, leaving you wanting more. It’s smooth and creamy with a long lasting head, but kind of heavy. I’d not recommend more than one at a sitting.

very good!!! this is almost a milkshake. finishes with a nice sweet chocolat/coffee sweetness.. you can’t drink to many thought , but it’s a good dessert/last beer drink.

Bottle-Gotta paraphraseHomer Simpson quote about beer, "they look good, smell good and taste good--you’d step over your mother to have another one." This pretty much decribes this beer. The color is so black, the light almost can not escape, poured with a froathy tan head that lasts throughout the drink with chocolate aroma and taste. 3.19 petty

The label read Young’s Luxury Double Chocolate Stout....emphasis on the word "luxury" with this very fine example of a stout. Aroma of rich dark chocolate. Pours gorgeous deep brown/black with small tan head. Flavor of bitter chocolate and roasted malts, improving greatly as the beer’s temperature rose to near room temperature. This stout is rich, decadent, and yes, luxurious. One of the finest stouts I’ve ever had, would go very well with a chocolate dessert or perhaps a cheesecake. Amazing stout.
