Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout

Thick motor oil pour with a dark tan head. Very fragrant chocolate, coffee, milk and sour fruit aroma. Sour berry flavor with chocolate and coffee ground notes. Just a tiny a mount of sweetness. Hides the alcohol well. Probably the best bang for you buck for any beer!

12 oz. bottle into wine glass for lack of snifter. Pretty much an oil black pour with a big (when poured vigorously) creamy tan head that holds well and leaves an unbelievably dense wall of lace (wish I could tag a picture to this rating). Great rich aroma of dark and milk chocolate, vanilla, with the perfect amount of subtle hops to balance these rich creamy aromas out. Solid flavor, though not as rich, robust, and complex as the aroma - all roasted dark chocolate with a bitter dark chocolate finish. Not as thick as the abv., style color suggest on the palate. Overall: good but hopefully better after a couple of months in the cellar. I docked the overall score because, thought it has a solid flavor and palate, I just didn’t feel right giving this a 4.4 (with an overall score that corresponded with the aroma and appearance etc.) Holla! P.S. 8.99 for a sixer of 10% brew is one of the best deals I have ever seen.

Dark roast malt character. Lots of chocolate and coffee. Very smoked. Great brew the warmer it gets. Very thick.

2007 bottle thanks to JB175. Pours thick and black with a foamy brown head. Great lacing. Aroma of chocolate, maplee, dark fruits, dates and alcohol. Taste is yeasty, with chocolate, coffee, cinnamon, and smoke. syrupy mouthfeel, light carbonation.

bottle. has a rich aroma of chocolate, coffee, and maybe cherry? pours a thick black with little head. has more of a roasted coffee flavor than chocolate.

Very dark, dissapating brown head. This beer is a stout that is more on the fruity side. Very dark fruit, almost sour notes. Certainly there are roasted notes, but its quite sweet-tart. Body is thick and smooth. Alcohol is well hidden, but this is pretty low on my list of impys.

12 oz bottle, 2008 edition. pours black (no see-through here), thick (I think I noticed like chunks of goodness coming out during the pour), and the head is typical of imperial stouts. Most distinctive toasted/roasted malt flavor I have ever tasted. Maybe my favorite imperial stout.

Bottle. 33cl. Pours out a deep black with a small lacing tan head. It has a strong roasted malt aroma. Finishes with a nice chocolate bitterness. Alcohol notes which sharpens the taste.
