Southern Tier Choklat

22 oz. bottle. Pours a dark brown with a thin, off white head. Nice aroma of chocolate milk. Reminds me of my childhood, minus the alcohol. Flavor is smooth and creamy, with a nice big chocolate flavor. Some roasted malt notes, as well. Finish is slightly bitter with no trace of the alcohol. Just a delightful beer.

Shared @ DLD. As a fan of most chocolate stouts, I have to say I was not a fan of this one. I felt as though it smelled like a brown smelly marker or a chocolate sticker, artificially sweet and a little chemical. It tasted like Hershey’s syrup aftertaste with none of the enjoyment of actual chocolate. Tasted artificially processed, and left behind a funky taste that I did not enjoy. To me, it was the equivalent of someone that spent $10 on a bottle of cheap perfume vs. someone that bought one for $90.

22 oz bomber purchased at Oak Tree shared with the Fight Night Drinking Crew. Pours a solid brown with a small light beige head. Aroma is fantastic sort of like a liquid tootsie roll. Flavor of chocolate, not artificial fake cheap sugary chocolate but real quality good chocolate, followed up with strong malts and hops. A few of the guys that I shared this beer were IN LOVE with it, I liked it but by no means was as blown away as they were. Oh well to each their own and I am just happy I provided a beer that some guys really enjoyed. One guy loved it so much he bought a case from the one store left in the state that still has some.

A- Pours like oily black sludge with a surprisingly thick head with an oak hue. S- Strong chocolate, hersheyesque with a coffee undertone and alcohol notes. T- Again very strong chocolate, toffee, more chocolate. I think this one delivers on the chocolate but can become cloying a bit of the way through which is why I dinged it a bit, still a delicious brew. M- Thick, with an ample amount of carbonation... just enough for the style in my opinion. D- The chocolate is a bit overwhelming but it’s definitely a treat for the first half of the glass and by the second half you dont even care at 11 percent abv.

650 mL bottle received via trade with jah noth. Pours opaque with a small, rocky, dark brown head, somewhat lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, caramel, chocolate), light hops (herbs), average yeast (leather) with notes of prune, date, and toffee. Full bodied, creamy texture, average carbonation, and a chalky finish. Long duration, heavy sweetness, light acidity, and moderate bitterness.

This beer was unbelievable. It tasted EXACTLY like chocolate milk. I would not be able to tell the difference. Its almost as if it is chocolate milk, but some how has 11% ABV added to it and you can’t even tell it is there!!

22 oz. bottle. A deep, deep mahogany pour with a finger-thick creamy mocha head. A TON of cocoa and chocolate in the aroma along with vanilla beans and rich caramel. A touch of alcohol comes out in the aroma as it warms. Starts off smooth with plenty of creamy milk chocolate. Caramel and vanilla flavors follow. Roasty coffee and rich dark chocolate finish things up with a moderate bitterness. The 11% ABV is very nicely disguised. Dangerously drinkable for such a big beer.

Pours deep mahogany with a medium, creamy, beige head. Aroma is heavy cocoa and chocolate - not much else to balance it out. Fine, creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is soft, lots of dry cocoa and a whole bunch of chocolate. Balance, never! Which is sad, as the idea is fine.
