Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout

12 oz. bottle, pours a dark brown opaque color with a minimal dark brown head. Aroma is of chocolate, coffee, and alcohol. and kind of sweet. The taste is somewhat overpowering at first and is both bitter and sweet. Dry, crispy feel that fills your mouth. Palate is smooth despite the high alcohol content. Very good beer.

Bottle. Pours black, big tan head. Nose of alcohol, dark fruits, chocolate. Big dark fruity character, cough syrupy, with dark chocolate undertones. As it warmed, dark fruits recede, syrup disappears, roasted malt and chocolate comes to fore. Slightly bitter finish. Greatly improved as it climbed into room temperature. Also worth noting that this beer changed significantly over the last two or three months -- another bottle from the same sixer three months ago was significantly hotter and more sough-syrup like.

Bottled. Pours ink black with no highlights...completely opaque. Brown film and ring sitting on top. Aroma of sweet chocolate. Sharp, almost sour flavour combined with alcohol and roasted coffee. Good but not one of my favourite impy stouts.

I can’t asy enough about this stout. It’s one of my favorites. I can’t hold on to it long enough to age a bottle or two. Big chocolately notes. Nice malty body to balance the sweetness. Thick and velvety body. I love this stout!

Bottle from Corks, Bristol. Dense, jet black with a moderate, tight tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate, tar, roasted malt and a touch of rum. Big mouth feel with the beer coating the tongue. More roasted malt in the flavour with dark, sligfhtly stewed fruit, chocolate and spice and a bitter tobacco finish. Excellent.

06-07 Vintage 12oz. I started to chill a new bottle and thought why not go with an older one. when I lived in NYC and was still a beer neophite, I thoght this tasted terrible, I hope my pallet has evolved since then. Pours black with a 1 finger light brown head. Nose is sweet rich and chocolatey. Prety nice nose. Taste is sweet, rich, chocolaty and matly. The characteristics of the taste of this beer are well rounded and voerall this is a good brew. Overall its a good beer, and its crazy I’ve waited so long to rate it. Shared with my gf Cyn.

12 oz bottle. Pours black with a beautiful brown head which lingered to create good lacing. The smell was good chocolate with smoke and some alcohol. Taste was a delicious chocolate with that smoky burnt malt that was present in the smell. Mouthfeel was medium with alcohol noticeable.

I tried this beer on february 29, 2008 at the ’Beer Bistro’ in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured black with no head. The aroma was roasted malt, some coffee hints, dark cocoa, and some slight cherryish hints. The mouthfeel was smooth, full-bodied, and very little carbonation. The flavour was malty, chocolatey, with a little bit of hoppy bitterness.
