Ommegang Chocolate Indulgence

Brewed by Brewery Ommegang (Moortgat)
Style: Stout
Cooperstown, New York USA

Opaque black pour that gives off a thick, creamy tan head. The aroma is milk chocolate, some coffee, vanilla and yeast. The flavor had much less chocolate that I was expecting. A bit chalky on the tongue. In many ways this is just a good, typical Stout.

Ommegang is a good alternative to Belgian made ales for being made here in the states. This chocolate stout is another good example of the quality brew they make. This chocolate stout ranks rightup there with youngs and rogue. Unfortunately, this is seasonal, so grab some while you still can.

Pours black with thin tan head, a little thin, aroma is belgian chocolate and coffee. Taste up front is chocolate, coffee, even some dark fruit and anise, that finishes a bit bland but smooth. Very nice stout.

chocolate, earthy, black, medium sweetness, full body, creamy, soft carbonation. Only had it once but remember thinking the name was dead on. CHOCOLATE INDULGENCE is what you get when you drink this interesting and tasty stout.

Tap at Max’s. Black with a beige head. Aroma of cocoa powder and Hershey bar. Flavor of bitter chocolate and burnt espresso beans. Not too over the top.

Pours a thick, coal black. Brown tan head. Aroma is of banana and clove- the kind of notes you’d think you’d be getting from a Belgian ale. Chocolate is in there also. Tasting it is very interesting. First of all, the carbonation is a sparkly lightness that dances across your tongue. Its very fruity. Bitterness taps on the tip of your tongue and chocolate gradually eases its way onto the back. Its very smooth and silky. What an interesting beer.

22 oz bottle. It’s hard to find a good chocolate stout when most stouts already have coffee/chocolate flavors. However, this one distinguishes itself. Pours a solid black with a dark, creamy head. The aroma is like that of a fresh brewed mocha, bittersweet chocolate, and has an earthy impression. The taste is nicely sweet. It starts more like a dry stout and then the chocolate flavors really hit as it finishes, leaving a bittersweet chocolate taste in your mouth. Good stuff for after dinner.

Aroma holds caramel, floral, barnyard. Appearance is midnight black. Taste is mostly medium bitter. Palate is full bodied, creamy, average carbonation with a long finish.
