beer_name: Choklat
text: Poured from a 22 oz. bottle into a pint glass. Appearance: Nearly black, with a touch of burgundy around the edges. A moderate tan head forms on pouring, fading rather quickly to a thin ring. Smell: Chocolate is the most noticeable, to the surprise of no one. Vanilla beans and a slight oily nuttiness round out the nose. Taste: Sweet chocolate malt, roasted character is present as well. Chocolate becomes bittersweet midway through, finishing balanced. Slightly bitter aftertaste. Simple, but incredible. I have not had any stout this perfectly chocolatey. Mouthfeel: Creamy mouthfeel, feels lightly carbonated. Slightly syrupy feel afterward, but not bad. Drinkability: This is an impressive sipper. Not something I would want to drink quickly, but aside from the tastiness of the beer itself, the unique chocolate character provides for niche dessert pairing purposes as well. Where did the alcohol go? Wow. It's like 11% ABV hiding in malty chocolate milk. I took a second bottle and made stout floats for a few friends and myself. Fantastic.
