Ommegang Chocolate Indulgence

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

Aroma was the thinnest wisp of milk chocolate, along with some oaky malting,taste again such subtle chocolate that you have to concentrate to detect it,some roastedness and a little nougat sweetness. By itself its an ok foreign stout probaly better then Guinness Foreign Extra, but its overhyped as far as its degree of chocolateness ,as well as overpriced. Everyone at our table was disappointed ,expecting a little more punch

Very dark brown with a big brown head. Aroma of coffee and dark chocolate. Chocolate flavor is pretty mild except for the strong dark chocolate finish.

750 ml bottle from a trade with ughsmash. i was looking forward to this one ever since trading for it. pours dark brown with red edges and a medium tan head. aromas are of coffee and tin with a tiny bit of dark chocolate. flavours are a mess. thin chocolate flavours give way to a big tinny finish. very thin watery mouthfeel. hard to choke down the 750ml bottle. i dont know what went wrong but this was not a chocolate indulgence it was more like tin water dissaster.2.2//////////////////////////my second bottle of this was better but still not worth of its name. the second bottle would score 3.4

good beer. not as chocolately as i was hoping for. Seemed a bit like old chub. Nice balance though not too sweet, not too dry. just a good mix overall i’ll try again for sure!

On tap from Party Town, Florence, KY. Appearance is pitch black, no seeing through this glass anyway. Aroma is dark chocolate, hints of alcohol. Flavor is dark chocolate, a light alcohol touch, a little bit of a nutty characteristic as well, and not to salty to boot. It stands up to its title in my book with chocolates heading the bill. Good job Ommegang.

I had high expectation for this one. I put it in my Christmas Day rotation. Creamy, light brown head. Black color. Mild chocolate aroma with no hops or maltiness. A little oak, nutmeg, clove, and pepper. Not as much chocolate as I had expected or hoped. Most of the chocolate is in the aftertaste.

Pours black with brown at edges, slight head but leaves great lacing. Aroma is straight up chocolate, couldn’t find anything else. Flavor is chocolate and a light bodied slightly sweet roasty stout. Not bad, but it doesn’t exactly leap out at you. I was hoping for more Belgian notes and a bigger flavor profile. But enjoyable enough.

On tap at Palm Tavern. Poured very deep reddish-brown with a tall, frothy cap of deep tan headage. The aroma picked up sweet, lightly-roasted cocoa and semi-sweet chocolates with cherry and vanilla undertones.. freakin’ dessert in a glass!! The flavor was chock fulla chocolate.. sweeter, darker, and cocoa present with moderate roast with a sweet, brownie-like back-end.. some cherry and vanilla show back there too.. “indulgence” was an ideal name for this. Sweet on the palate with just enough roast to it.. grainier on the back-end, and this made me feel like I drank my dessert. Great one!
