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.

A- Pours a deep, murky, black hue with a small coffee head which fades quickly leaving no lacing. S- Very malty and smooth smelling with hints of chocolate. T- Toffee, mocha, lighter than expected, hints of coffee but not overpoweringly so. Deep and rounded. M- Not as thick as I would have expected, super carbonated. D- A sipper for sure, but excellently decadent and rounded, good for desert.

I was hoping for a lot more complexity out of this one, which it lacked, but overall I was pretty happy with it. Very smooth going and seemed somewhat low on the hop bitternes for an imperial stout.

Bottle courtesy of GrbDg. Pours midnight black with 2 finger tan head. Nose is roasted malt, chocolate, a touch of salty soy sauce and alcohol. Palate is bitter dark chocolate, roasted coffee and slight bitter finish. Given the nose and ABV, the alcohol is hidden pretty nicely. Medium creamy mouth feel, nice lacing – decent stout. Thanks Cliff!

Vintage 04-05. It pours a brown head and the beer is black. The aroma is to full of malt, bread, alcohol and burned tones. The flavor is full of hops, burned flavor, alcohol a bit of chocolate and the aftertaste is of bread. Great beer, but it takes a bit to get used to it, compared to other imperial stouts.

Bottle courtesy of Hellbilly!!! Thank you, my friend!!! Held against a glaring Arizona sun, not a lick of light made it’s way through this frosty beverage. The mahogany head was small and subsided quickly. Aroma and flavor was predominantly dark chocolate, burnt caramel, and Nestle Quick. A well crafted beer that I wish was available locally.

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