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.

12oz bottle from KIngdom Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a dark black color with a thick and frothy tan/brown head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma is heavy dark chocolate, coffee, toffee, and sweet malt. Medium to full-bodied with a smooth and silky syrupy finish. Flavor has notes of dark chocolate, sweet malt, slight bitterness, toffee. Very nice Imperial Stout.

Poured a midnight black color with a small tan head, leaving trace amounts of lacing. Smell is roasty, chocolate-y, and a bit fruity. Taste is pretty nice, some chocolate and roastiness, but seemed to have more earthiness from the hops than I liked. I think this would be eliminated with aging, and would increase my score. Medium to full bodied, medium carbonation. Was fun to drink, and would like to get more, but would like to age it to see how it develops.

I love this stout, wonderful aroma, reminds me of coffee. Slight alcohol flavor, but nothing like you would expect.

(Bottle) pours black with a thick brown head. Aroma is malty with chocolate. Flavour is roasted malty, chocolate is less pronounced. Rather dry and thin for an imperial stout and with a tiny actually pleasant sourish sharpness. Alcohol is well hidden.

Pours s thick black color with a small brown head. Aroma is of a lot of chocolate and some roasted coffee beans. Flavor is very chocolately with a slight alcohol hint and some nice roasted hints in the swallow.

33 cl bottle - Black beer with a creamy dark brown head. Chocolate dominates the aroma, though hints of smoked malt can be found. Flavor is nothing but incredible, lots of chocolate and liquorice and hints of vanilla. Hard to believe that this is an imperial stout! A very special experience of a beer!
