Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout

Brewed by Brooklyn Brewery
Style: Imperial Stout
Brooklyn, New York USA

Serve in Snifter

12 oz. bottle from a snifter. Pours a dark black color with a small brown head. Pretty pour. Aroma has a ton of roasty malt and dark chocolate. Taste has a big roasty character up front, but finishes with a nice, strong dark chocolate. Great beer. Definitely a sipper though.

Bottle. They weren’t kidding. The aroma is overwhelmingly of chocolate, sugar, and alcohol. Opaque black with small, mocha head. Flavor is bitter chocolate and licorice with some roastiness on the end. A lot drier and lighter-bodied than expected. Save for Old Rasputin, this is the most easy-drinking RIS that I have had. A good RIS, and it gets bonus points for giving itself the perfect name, but too much black licorice flavor for my taste

Wow, aroma is malty chocolatey some faint hops, color, dark as night, cant see through, nice chocolate hue, taste at first bitter hops, then the sweetness of the roasted malts comes through, nice backend coffee essence, overall, Awesome job, Ive had it no 3 times good stuff

It’s winter so exploring the heavy duty end of the stout spectrum. Pours black with no head. Very chocolately aroma, like drinking cocoa. Big strong chocolate flavours dominate along with dark roast malts. Possibly lacks a little body for a beer this strong and full flavoured. Long dry bitter finish. An example of what the US breweries do well.

Pours opaque with low thick head Aromas full of chocolate some coffee beans and hops Quite mild palate with a bitter ending. Taste is rich of chocolate and coffee but in a really nice way. Brooklyns finest!

Bottle. Aroma strong of chocolate and fainter vanilla and licorice notes; pours very dark to black with a small, brown head. Balanced taste of sweet and bitter with coffee added to the mix with an impressive, long finish. My first imperial stout, very rich, but maybe too bitter finish for my tastes.

Very little head. Very dark. Nose of chocolate. Taste of chocolate, a little smoke. Not very hoppy, just a hint of bitterness. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
