Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout

Brewed by Brooklyn Brewery
Style: Imperial Stout
Brooklyn, New York USA

Blind Tasting. Boozy coffee, aroma, hints of dark chocolate, smoke, toasty malt. Black/brown dark head. Coffee and dark chocolate flavor, minimal red fruit, mostly toasty and boozy. Warm oily palate. No real aftertaste, doesn’t seem to cling at all.

I was pretty upset when I missed out on this one last year, so I snatched up a sixer the first chance I got. Very good heavy stout taste, loads of flavor and a great smell. The high ABV is easily detected, which could be seen as a pro or a con. The bottle looks great too, which I love - great beers should come with a classy look inside and out. Plus at only $11/6 pk it feels like i am stealing.

2008 Bottle. Poured a deep black with a one finger brown/red head. Aroma of bitter chocolate, coffee and roasted malt. Flavor was a little sweet, with a good chocolate aftertaste, and a strong coffee intial note. Full body with soft carbonation and a creamy/sticky mouthfeel. Great beer. Glad I bought a sixer.

really love the smell.. tons of malts.roasty, chocklate. black in color. brown head minimal. bitter chocklate, roasty, each sip leaves you wanting more. definately a delicious beer... esp. the more it warms up. a cost effective sub for choklat from s. tier.

Winter ’07-’08 bottle from bodega blocks from the Brewery. Pours opaque black with a tan head that’s gone before the rest of the beer. Aroma of coffee and roasted barley, a little chocolatey. The taste starts slightly sweet with molasses and chocolate, then you get a bit more bitter, dry, charred and very long finish with a bit of alcohol warmth (dark chocolate all the way through). The palate is amazing, the taste fills your whole mouth instantly. Great stout!

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.

Outstanding especially when left to sit out for a bit and warm. Creamy and frothy on pour - dark like the night. You can almost lap it up when it is on your town. Has a roasty flavor and after taste with hints of a dark Chocolate. Beware the alcohol content it will grab you eventually because all you will want to do is keep drinking it.

Bottle from goldtwins, thanks! Black with a thin tan head that quickly dissipates. Very pleasant aroma of dark and roasted malts, chocolate and a twinge of alcohol and coffee. Taste of chocolate, dark and roasted malts and mild alcohol. Body is full, smooth and finishes nice and roasty with some light warming effects. Good stuff.
