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.

From LIC, Aarhus Bottled Alcohol very well hidden in a symphony of chokolate, coffee, caramel, and malt sweetnes. Licorice hopping. Super

[Vintage 05-06] Pours a reddish black velvet with almost no head. Aroma of oil, black chocolate and basement. The flavours are highly complex with chocolate dominating along with raisin, liquorice, fruits, wood and wet soil.

Pours a creamy 1 inch head. Super dark. Exploding with flavor. Not even close to a session beer, one is about all I can handle in a night. Gorgeous.

Bottle from the Little Beer Shoppe, Ludlow, Salop, 05-04-08 Wonderful sweet soft coffee on first sip of this jet black beer with tan head. Some soft gentle roasted notes and Loz picked up pear drops (I never) This has a wonderfully reigned in bitterness and is so drinkable, not fierce, not too bitter, just lovely, bloody marvellous in fact.

Undrinkable. I love Imperial Stouts, but this one is alkaline-bitter and the taste of the alcohol is overwhelming.

Bottle. Pours pure black with 2-inch creamy cocoa head. Aroma of molasses, brown sugar and chocolate. Medium-sweet chocolate very prominent in taste with tiny touches of bitterness and sourness at the end that stop the sweetness well short of cloying. Aftertaste stays with the chocolate. Alcohol generates some heat. Mouthfeel is full and the liquid coats all surfaces like a thick chocolaty drink A great dessert all by itself.
