Common descriptors are
This is one of those Chocolate Stouts that doesn’t have any actual chocolate in it. Actually, most chocolate stouts don’t have chocolate in them. (Although, to keep things confusing, some certainly do.) Malted roasted grains are great that way. They provide an entire pallet of flavors from what was a simple grass not long before. This beer gets chocolate notes from chocolate rye malt, biscuit notes from special roast malt, and coffee notes from roasted barley. A pound and half of mash hops keep things fresh (literally). This beer should age well if you’re the patient type.
