Youngs Double Chocolate Stout

Brewed by Wells & Youngs
Style: Stout
Bedford, England

Serve in English pint

Needs to be only slightly chilled to enjoy, as straight out of the refrigerator kept it bitter and withheld the aroma. With a little time to take some of the chill off it has a great flavor and finish, as well as some of the aroma being able to come through. Still wish it had a more chocolate flavor for something called double chocolate, but a very good stout.

Cerveza que debe su nombre al hecho que es producida tanto con Malta Chocolate, como con Chocolate. Estilo Stout, Subestilo SweetStout, buena cerveza, sobre todo si gustas de la cervezas bien balanceadas entre dulce y amargo. Al igual que en la mayoria de las Stouts, el aroma tiene notas de cafe, malta tostada y chocolate, con la diferencia que en este caso, el aroma es mas dulce, en el sabor se nota la adicion de chocolate, gran cerveza para acompañar postres.

Uma boa cerveja, porém o chocolate não é tão notável assim, predominando muito mais um gosto de café do que chocolate, além de amargura lupulada que disfarça o sabor o que, para mim, encobre a possível doçura do chocolate.

Poured from 14.9oz can into stout glass. Aroma: Not much to the aroma. Strong smell of metal. Malty and chocolate when drinking but cant detect it at all from the smell. Appearance: Extremely black color. 2 finger creamy tan head that stuck around. Taste: Slightly sweet taste. Light bitter taste. Palate: Light body, creamy texture. Soft carbonation and bitter finish Overall: Tastes very similar to a guiness with less carbonation and a slight chocolate flavor A little too flat for my tastes and not enough chocolate for being named "Double Chocolate Stout"

500ml. Pours a creamy, brown head - dark body. Incredible chocolate aroma further down the glass. Quite a soapy taste, slippy. Nicer as you get further down the glass.

Poured from a 50cl can with considerable persistent tan head. Color is opaque dark brown/black. Smells of chocolate and roasted malts. Taste is sweet with a bitter finish. Not as complex as some other chocolate stouts or porters I’ve tried. The worst I can say is that it is flat, with practically no carbonation. Body is as full as expected. Worth trying, but not my favorite chocolate stout.

Pours black with a tan head. Aroma is roast, coffee and lots of chocolate. Taste is sweet with a bitter bite on the finish. Smooth and easy to drink, an excellent stout.

500 ml bottle. Pours a very dark brown with a beige head. Smells of sweet chocolate and coconut. Tastes of milk chocolate, oatmeal, vanilla, a hint of chocolate and maybe some hints of citrus, I’d say sweet lemon flavor..Body is very light and creamy, I’d say this is almost a perfect dessert stout.
