Youngs Double Chocolate Stout

Brewed by Wells & Youngs
Style: Stout
Bedford, England

This was served in draught form. The head was cremy and delicious. The color was jet black,and every drop was enjoyed. This was one best stouts to date. I look forward to my next one. The next one was enjoyed another in Jan 2006. This is excellent stout with full rich flavor.

Silky-smooth, fudgy and creamy sweetness with chocolate bitterness. I also tasted a little bit ginger knid of flavor in it. Great beer.

Dark dark dark brown. Just a hint of red shown through when I held the glass up to the sun. Nice tan head...not too big...just right for a stout. The aroma was bitter, roasty, and malty sweet. The flavor was slightly bitter up front, then sweet roasted coffee, and finished with a slight taste of semi-sweet chocolate. Very silky smooth feel...one of the smoothest. Despite being so smooth, the beer keeps a crisp edge to it. Why isn't this beer listed as a sweet stout? Great great great stout...one of the "Big Daddy's!"

Bottled: This surely is a great and different beer. The dark colour is tempting, and the aroma strengthens this impression. The taste of chocolate is harmonious and well balanced. Truely a great beer, though I agree with Foduck, that its very one-dimensional

This is very smooth and sublte. The aroma actually kicked back a smell of bubble gum intially to me. The Beer has a similar appearance to Guinness with a slight kick of chocolate.

Out of the widget can, pours smooth, dark ruby black color, creamy lasting head. Aroma....smells chocolately. Tastes..chocalately malty. Very smooth. A little heavy on the back of the tongue and on the sweet side, but not very complex in taste. Highly reccomended.

Michael Jackson suggests that this can be consumed with chocolate. Yep makes sense to me. This is a fantastic stout with silky softness on the nose and a great warming mouthfeel. The roasted and real chocolate tones are quite evident as is the undertone of noble hop. A delightful beer that I would love to drink more of, unfortunately at $10 a bottle this is only a once in a while treat.

An excellent stout by anyone's standards. Big, malty start to it, with plenty of hops to back it up. This beer is exceptionally smooth, creamy, and easy to drink. It's absolutely delicious.
