Commercial Description:
This is the famous Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout, our award-winning rendition of the Imperial Stout style once made exclusively for Catherine the Great. We use three mashes to brew each batch of this beer, achieving a luscious deep dark chocolate flavor through a blend of specialty roasted malts. We brew it every year for the winter season. It is delicious when newly bottled, but also ages beautifully for years.

Bottle. 12 oz. Pours murky brown, nearly black, with a a thin caramel head. Aroma of chocolate, walnut, hazelnut, caramel, honey, scotch, and hints of pepper. Fuller bodied with a robust, amost tart mouthfeel. Smooth, long finish. Awesome stout.

Poured a dark black with a tall creamy brown head. The head lasted a good long time and left excellent lacing. The aroma was very good with chocolate and some sweet malt too. The initial taste is creamy and the flavor of a chocolate milkshake, but almost instantly a good bitterness of dark chocolate and espresso developes. The bitterness continues onto the finish, which is slightly dry. The 10% alcohol is hidden very well on the aroma and taste sides.

12-oz. bottle. Rich, black pour with dark head that develops slowly and persists. Roasted malt and coffee in aroma with a hint of alcohol. Chocolate flavor up front with coffee-bean aftertaste. Creamy feel. While this is not my one of my favorite beer styles, I will give it credit for balance and overall smooth quality.

12 fl. oz. bottle at Pikkulintu. Pours black with a tan head. Roasted malt and coffee in the aroma, as well as a hint of alcohol. The flavour has a fine, bitter dark chocolate character with notes of coffee, Alcohol can be noticed in the aftertaste.

Black, opaque, tan head. Very sweet and chocolates up front, sticky. Very alcoholic but yet drinkable. I like it.

09-10 bottle. Pour is black with a thin brown head. Aroma is coffee, blackberry, toffee, dried fruits, light smoke, roasted malt, and a hint of alcohol. Aroma is a nice mix of sweet and savory. Flavor needs a bit more cohesiveness. Starts with big roasted malt and a touch of the dried fruits. Then coffee and light smoke. Finish has notes of coffee and is quite boozy (and this is still pretty cold). I think a little time may help the flavors meld in this one. it has all the components and complexity of an incredible beer, they are just not working together yet.
