Sampled &#64; Strong Ale Fest San Diego<br /><br /> The beer pours the color of Onyx with the head creamy light chocolate brown and portly in size with the resultant lace a fine curtain to conceal the glass. Nose is that of rich toasted grains, coffee and bittersweet chocolate, fresh and pleasing to the olfactory senses, start is rich chocolate malt, sweet and the top thick and rich. Finish is mild in its carbonation with the hops purposeful in their spiciness, bitter-sweet dry aftertaste, quite a tasty brew tis&#39; true!

Draft. 2003 Keg. Nitro. Black beer with a big beige nitro head. Chocolate aroma with a little roastiness. Big chocolate flavor with soe underlying roastiness and licorice. Some alcohol warming at the end. Very smooth - velvety mouthfeel. Great chocolate flavor - this is what Young’s Double Chocolate should be

<b>Draft &#64; Ballast Pt.: 2003 Vintage & Nitro Pour</b> Black with a large tan cascading head. Arma of roasted malt and sweet light coffee. Flavor of roasted malt, coffee and bitter sweet chocolate. Light warming sensation. Creamy.

Had a Speedway before this. This one is on nitro and is drier with a nice cocoa flavor. alittle dark fruit is mixed in there as well. Not as flat tasting as some nitros I&#39;ve had. Taste is a little unexceptional, but there&#39;s nothing to complain about either. Aroma is lacking, but you never know when it&#39;s coming out of a pint glass, and is slightly too cold.

this has the normal Imperial stout appearance. The aroma is roasty coffee/espresso. The body is thin, but a lot of flavor comes thru. a beginner&#39;s imperial stout.
