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.

12 oz. bottle received via a trade with Beerlando. Poured midnight black with a 1 inch head into a pint glass. Smell of alcohol and chocolate chip cookies. Initial flavor of chocolate with a slight smoky aftertaste. As time has passed, aromas and flavors are becoming more apparent and enticing. Very good beer, try to get via trade if not available locally.

Pour black with a thick head. Aroma has lots of black malt and bitter hops. Flavor is extremely bitter maybe too much so. Theres the usual chocolate and such here, but the bitterness dominates thoroughly. A good beer but not my favorite stout.

12oz bottle. Pours jet black with a nice tan head with decent lacing. Smells of bittersweet chocolate and burnt malt and a hint of alcohol. Flavor is more bittersweet chocolate and bold black coffee. The taste of alcohol sneaks through but does not get in the way. Very thick on the mouth. This certainly makes for a good warm-up in the winter. One of my favorite stouts.

I had this to celebrate the Cowboys victory over the Giants. I was hoping this would be as good as the Youngs Double Chocolate Stout which I enjoyed acouple days ago. It was not. It was pitch black in color and had plenty of roasted malt. It was not as thick and chocolaty as the Youngs product though.

Draft @ the Brick Store. Pours black with thick tan head. Aroma of chocolate and roasted malt. Taste is heavy with chocolate. Medium mouthfeel. Can definitely taste and feel the alcohol in this one. Would like to age a few.

Bottle. Sweet fruity and chocolate aroma, perhaps the alcohol a little too invasive. Black body, brown creamy head. Flavor is very sweet, chocolate, fruit, woodsy, and smoky. Sweet finish. Body somewhat thin, and the flavor a bit sweet and alcoholic. But it certainly makes a powerful and assertive impression.

Bottle. Pours a rich black color with a large brown head. Lacing is excellent. Aromas of chocolate, molasses, roasted malt, and caramel. Very creamy texture with a slick finish, little carbonation with it. Flavor is just as the smell and excellent. Highly recommend this beer.

12oz bottle poured into snifter. Pours black with small tan head. Aroma is roasted malt and chocolate with coffee and molasses notes. Flavor is full of roasted malt and chocolate with some light coffee notes. Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy. Very well made chocolate imperial stout. Easy to drink and hides alcohol well.
