4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 trujahwarrior (284) - Monroe, Washington, USA - APR 1, 2013
On tap barrel aged version specialy brewed for AFK tavern elves vs dwarves night. Pours a dark brown color with a medium tan head that leaves good lacing. Smells of chocolate, roasted malt, and oak. Tastes of chocolate, vanilla, oak and roasted malt. Mouthfeel is creamy and chewy with a thick oily texture. This was really good, reminded me of a hershey special dark bar with slight oak flavor. Too bad thisvis only a one time thing. I was glad I was able to try it.

Sample at the brewery tap room. The beer pours a dark brown-black color with a medium tan head that dissipates slowly. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of malt, chocolate and coffee. Medium-bodied with flavors of roasted coffee, dark chocolate and a touch of hops. The finish is roasty with a slightly bitter chocolate aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

This is rated lower not for the overall quality, but simply for the fact that it advertises itself as a chocolate stout and there is nearly no chocolate character beyond what one finds in any American craft stout.
It does show a nice roasted nutty nose, a full body and some dark chocolate and coffee.

Draft at the main street. Pours a chalky faded black with a dense and.creamy tan nitro head. Big ashy bitter chocolate nose, an offbeat.take on a chocolate stout and it works. Crwamy medium body with soft carb. That black patent ashiness is back on the mid palate, along with a dense and.creamy dark chocolate and.cocoa blast that carry right through to the finish.

On tap at buckleys in queen anne. nitro pour. superb. a rich and thick chocolate stout indeed. Sweet buy balanced hoppiness on the finish. none of the cigarette smokiness or chalkiness thats present in a lot of stouts. deep roasty aroma. 8% abv is stealthy.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 22415brewery (315) - redmond, Washington, USA - OCT 25, 2009
Let me just first say that I really really wanted to like this beer. I’m a big Manny supporter. Poured at the brewery in a sample glass It showed a beautiful jet-black color with very little head. The aroma was of a very faint roast, coffee, and a tiny hint of light cocoa, cocoa nibs maybe?. The chocolate addition was very slight and in my opinion very trace. To call this a chocolate stout one would expect the cocoa to take on a more central role in the flavor profile i.e. Southern Tier Choklat or Rogue Chocolate Stout, (which by the way both use chocolate extract/liquer additions) rather than as an accompaniment.
The gentleman at the counter told me that they have been recently tweaking the recipe and this was one of their experiments. I will have to revisit because right now this seems more like a very muddled Sweet Stout.

Beautiful appearance, black and creamy. This is quite tasty. Creamy, roasty, a good thickness and an improved overall score because I’m drinking it with my good friend Lisa.

After trying this twice now, it is time for a rating. Pours a silky black with a beautiful black tinged tanned head (through nitro!). Aroma is mainly light touches of milk chocolate mixed with a bit of roast. Nothing is overly prevalent. Flavor hits is right with subtle notes of milk and dark chocolate, oats, light light coffee, and finishes off with, again, a very subtle roast note that only lingers for a few. While this is in no way mind blowing, it’s a great beer, and a great push into new territories for Georgetown. Yum!
