Chocolate Stout
Extremely dark brown near-black color that fights off all light that dare approach it. Two finger thick tan head that retains fairly well and leaves generous lacing. Nose is of chocolate, plain and simple. There may be a hit of roasted hops and malts, but the chocolate smell dominates. The taste, I must say, was a bit of a disappointment. Based on the nose, I was expecting a chocolate assault. But in reality, I picked up very little chocolate flavor. It was mostly a faint bitter cocoa taste. Big letdown. The mouthfeel was good. Creamy and light carbonation. It's drinkable...I guess. It's quite filling and heavy, but if you enjoy the taste (I didn't), then I could see having another. This beer didn't offend my palate in any way, it just didn't impress it either. Maybe I got a bad batch - I'll try it again some day.
