Iron Hill Double Chocolate Stout

Poured a dark black color with a small, light tan head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of dark chocolate, roasted malt, vanilla bean, and a bit of java. Taste of roasted malt, light smoke, bitter dark chocolate, light bitter hops, and warming alcohol in the finish.

nitro at P-ville. 8%abv listed. Pours a very long lasting nitro head and takes a while to settle- deep colored- almost pitch black with some ruby highlights. Aroma is intense with raw chocolate, and dark candy chocolate- sweet, and then a big kick of vanilla bean and cream as well with some nice espresso/ machiatto. Flavor is a bit sweet, lots of chocolate, more vanilla and cream, and some bourbony alcohol hints as well. Starts smooth, but I kind of get sick of it and it becomes hard to drink. Reminded me of Aphrodesiaque, but even more over the top and didnt work quite as well.

On nitro in Lancaster. AKA Chocolate Indulgence Stout. Tapped for the Mugclub party. Poured black with a medium sized tan foamy nitro head. Aroma is of chocolate with a tid bit of coffee. Taste is primarily of bakers chocolate with small hints of coffee, nuts, roasty notes. The body was thin and a bit watery. Not a bad stout, but I’ll take their RIS on draft any day.

On tap at Pville regular version. Pours a deep brown with amber notes and a medium bubbly/creamy tan head that left light lacing. Aroma of milk chocolate, cocoa, some coffee notes. Flavor of rich bitter dark chocolate, cocoa pwoder, roasted malts...well done.
