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.

Pours black with brown head. Chocolate and alcohol on the nose. Flavor is chocolate, coffee, and alcohol. Ends with a bittersweet chocolate flavor. Taste lingers for a while. Nice stout.

Delicious chocolate aroma with underlying coffee and roasted malt aromas. Pours a dark black with a small tan head. Delicious sweet chocolaty taste at first that lasts throughout with minor notes of coffee and roasted malts. Very smooth combination of flavors. This is the chocolatiest beer I’ve ever had!! Fantastic.

07/08 bottle from ucusty... viscous impenetrable dark brown pour with a creamy brown head and light drippy lacing. sweet malty aroma with cocoa and dark dried fruit. sweet palate (not obscene though) with flavors of chocolate cream (big time), roastiness, dry astringency, sourness late and alcohol as it warms. light bitter finish with ashiness lingering in the aftertaste. medium body with a nice soft texture...

Pours pitch black with a dark tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate, roast, and alcohol. Strong chocolate flavores descend into cofee and finish with a big bitter finish. Pretty thick mouthfeel.Has a bit more chocolate charecter than your typical Imperial stount, but not tons. A big and very good beer.

On tap at Hopcat. The aromas were on the sweet side with chocolate and coffee. It had nice richness and balance in the mouth but just didn’t stand up to the KBS & Expedition drank today.

12 oz. bottle shared with Matt7215, RyanMac13. Pours the beautiful, full dark brown viscous liquid I was hoping for. Nice! Aroma: A little subdued actually, not much hint of what is to come. Flavour: MASSIVE sweetness, crazy chocolate, but also big anise, plum and soy souce come through. Not really subtle AT ALL! Big and assertive, I like it. Great thick mouth-feel. Glad I could have a chance to try this one, although it’s not really my favourite Imperial Stout I’ve tried so far. Still great stuff though.

Bottle. well here it is, #100. and what a great beer to mark the occassion. pours black with almost no head. smells sweet and alcohol. tastes are chocolate, bitter, vanilla flavored coffee. Alcohol seeps through each tasting but not enough to be bothersome.

Pours a very nice consistent black color. A definate mix of chocolate with coffee in the smell. Pretty sweet for a stout, wasnt expecting it to be that blunt. A great aftertaste that makes you want more.
