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.

Bottle. The best beer from the Brooklyn Brewery. Aroma is totally domiinated by chocolate and coffe. Mouthfeel is a bit wild. Taste is sweet and warm with bananas,chocolate and coffe with a warm and sweet finish.

12 oz. bottle in trade from MaltOMeal- thanks! Served in tumbler- poured blacker than midnight in a bad thunderstorm, low-medium carbonation, 4mm tan head formed and stayed for a couple of smokes. Aroma of hearty dark chocolate, coffee that’s been sitting on the pot for 24 hours, and roasted malt. Hits the mouth with a wide body, malt is heavy and full of attitude, roasted characteristics make themselves known very easily with notes of smoke in the background, all around very clingy on the cheeks, finish creeps away slowly. Damn right!

On tap at Pocono Brewing Company. Black pour with a small brown head. Rich chocolatey, roasted aroma. Outstanding flavor, deep deep chocolate and perfectly roasted. Just a really great beer.

Looks very appetizing, and the aroma i s very rich with hints of coffee and chocolate. The after-taste is a bit too sharp and powerfull to give it a better grade, but all in all a very good imperial stout.

Pours black with a small tan head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, and a touch of alcohol. Flavor is the same with a smooth, rich palate.

Bottle, winter 06/07. Black and opague. Roast, dark chocolate and a hint of licorice in the aroma. Malty, salty flavor with licorice, cacao and dark chocolate, coming up strongly in the aftertaste. Full bodied, just a bit alcoholic, but well balanced.
