Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout

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

Bottle pours opaque black with thin tan head. Aroma is sweet dark fruits and little alcohol. First taste is sweet roasted malt and some dark fruits then the bitterness comes in from the roasted malt. Alcohol is apparent throughout the whole tasting and the finish is biter dark chocolate.

Had this on tap at Mad Mex. Very nice for Imperial Stout, perhaps not as big in hops as Stormking but lots of oil and toffee and smoke plus enough hops.

Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Pours pitch black with almost no head. Aroma of dark roast & chocolate, signs of citrus tang. Flavor is semi-sweet with bakers chocolate, dark roast. Med-heavy body with medium carbonation. Overall, it’s tasty.

Brewed in the USA !!! (KSBF) Pours a wonderful black color with a sm tan head. The aroma is of chocolate, and dark malts. Taste of dark chocolate, coffee, and malts. The mouthfeel is smooth and sweet !!!! There is some alcohol present but not overbearing. I was very impressed by this one............... :)

2005 shared with imadeadguy. Nose is alcohol. Taste is alcohol. No damn chocolate in this beer. The age has ruined this one, a RealSoyBomb for TheRealBastard! Vertict=sucks.

Bottled from winter 08-09. Pours black with a thick chocolate head that laces well. Aroma is licorice, slightly vanilla, caramel, chocolate, dark fruits, roast malt, and alcohol. Flavor is chocolate, dark fruits, sweet smokey malt, coffee and lots of alcohol. Finish is very phenolic and bittersweet chocolate. Palate is creamy. The alcohol is not masked well enough; it’s good and certainly warming but could be better.

bottle thanks to jjpm74. poured black with a thin brown head. aroma is chocolate, dark fruits. flavor went through stages that blended out nice. started with dark fruits, chocolate, dark roasts, and finished with some coffee. a good hop bitter also. the alcohol is masked well for the 10.6.

Pours a deep oil black with a dark tan head. Aroma is heavy duty malt chocolate and some coffee and roasted. A tiny bit of vanilla and molasses as well. Flavor starts very rich with chocolate and bitter cocoa beans. Quickly gains a sweet edge with the vanilla and chocolate malt that helps hold a balance. Some earthy oak in the finish gives this beer a nice depth. Medium-full body and sticky mouth feel. Excellent imperial stout. [Re-rate 3-9-09. Much more port and a nice bit of black cherry tartness after aging for a bit. Flavor picks up much complexity. Quite tasty again]
