Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout

It’s a shame I didn’t buy two cases when I could. This is the sneakiest 10% brew I ever had.

This stuff makes me happy. And at first, I suffered from getting a bad impression because I couldn’t consume anything else after my first bottle of this.Ths high volume of alcohol in it messed me up big time, but I’ve since come to love this thick, black, and gooey beer substance. Such much so, I said the heck with it and bought a case, and intead on aging it a bit, unless I end up drinking it all first.

Aroma is molasses-like and slightly charred. Deep and dark in the glass, with a slight head. Flavor starts sweet, then moves into chocolate, then toasted dark bread, before finishing with a hoppy snap. Palate is dense and silky. A wonderful dessert beer, especially served with a scoop of ice cream, a la The Chocolate Room in Park Slope.

very let down by this after a strong recommendation. unpleasant alcohol starts in the middle and extends through to the end. too bad!

12oz bottle. Rich dark pour, perfect head and tons of lacing. A very beautiful beer. Aroma is licorice with some cream notes; sharp alcohol. Slight roasted chocolate flavor, faint sour apple, licorice. Smooth, charitable. Expected more, though.

pours a dark blackish brown with a frothy brown head. nose is roasty malty with some sweetness, chocolate, a touch of molasses, some metallic character, a little alcohol, port, and a smidge of dates. complex! taste is roasty, quite a bit of toffee, burnt caramels, roasted nuttiness, a little chocolate, a little coffee, cereal/grainy notes & some pine. yum. mouthfeel is frothy, a bit chewy. average carbonation for an IS. finish leaves you with a taste similar to ’honey smacks’ cereal (remember, with the little frog in their ads). alcohol isn’t overpowering, but it is there, especially on the finish. not too sweet, as i have noticed in other renditions of the style. full, thick body with an oily texture. highly drinkable for an IS also, in fact it makes me want another! beautifully balanced. very, very tasty. definately try it if you see it!

Black of color with a nice brown head. An aroma of choclate, alcohol and coffee. A flavor of liqorice, alcohol, chocolate and roasted malt.

I LOVED THIS ONE. STRONG ALCOHOL CONTENT. STRONG TASTE OF CHOCALATE. IT HAS A DARK RICH COLOR. THE ONLY DOWN SIDE TO THIS ONE IS ITS ONLY AVAILABLE AROUND CHRISTMAS TIME.
