Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout

Bottle thank to mreusch. Black appearance and small head. Winter 05 bottle. Dark chocolate, sweet malts, caramel, dark fruits, plum, vanilla, and hints of oak. It is very hot, lots of alcohol coming through on both the nose and the palate. It’s good, but the alcohol bothered me.

Bottle. Poured black with a quickly disappearing chocolate brown head. Nice effervesence and lacing in glass. Nose is full of chocolate and roasted malts. Flavor is very smooth roasted malt, bitter chocolate, hints of smoke, wood and vanilla. Finishes somewhat dry. One of the more balanced chocolate stouts I’ve tried.

Bottle (33 cl). Black colour with a small dark foam. Smelled of chocolate and smoke. Had a dry taste of chocolate and a long aftertaste.

Another huge thanks to JoeMcPhee for this brew. Crushed with Jakebra and Michaelangelo. Chocolate, chocolate, roast, and chocolate, then hops. Outstanding imperial stout. Dark, thick, velvety, tasty, awesomey. Loved it.

Bottle. Black with a large brown head. The aroma is high alcohol and chocolate. Taste, warm from alcohol smooth chocolate, burnt malt, and dryed fruit. Had the beer in with with fullcream chocolate cake, excellent mix.

bottle, 06-07, sampled 1/21/07. Pours a dark, thick heavy black with about a half inch of dark tan head. Aromas of heavy dark bittersweet chocolate, roasted grain, some hints of dark fruit, and a hefty dose of alcohol heat. Flavor follows on the nose, with lots of dark and bitter chocolate, some over-roasted malt and espresso notes. Solid bitterness shows up on the back of the palate and blends with the alcohol heat. Palate is heavy and full with noticeable carbonation, showing some booze on the finish.

Pours stout black with very little rose tinted head. Rich aroma: burnished cocoa, warming alcohol, coffee, malts. Thick, creamy, enveloping texture...leaves dry, cocoa finish...some ground nut and a warm roastiness. one to come back to. indulgent.

By far one of my favorite beers. Had many a pint off the tap at the Local 44 in Philadelphia. When ordering we refer to it as "The Wrestler", because if you try to go more than three rounds with it you’re bound to lose. Gorgeous thick black color. Head so thick it looks like cheesecake. Ony flaw: pronouced, almost sickening alcohol flavor with the first sip; it’s gone by taste #2. At $4 a pint, easily worth double the price, and after two or three, you’re bound to think the jukebox is filled with solid gold jams. Gets the job done, and in style.
