Chocolate Stout
pours a near black color with a small mocha colored head that doesn't hang around. no lacing down the glass smells of bitter chocolate, roasted coffee and earthy hop notes. the taste is imbalanced from the bitterness of the chocolate. harsh espresso bean & back of the throat bitterness. the hops come rushing out of the background to overrun the malts. feel lacks any creaminess or smoothness which makes it watery and seem over carbonated beer lacks balance to be a beer I could enjoy regularly. if they would perhaps add a little milk chocolate to keep up with the bitterness, it would help. think I'll pass next time. I'm ruined for Rogue's chocolate stout.
