Name – Rogue Chocolate Stout
Country – United States
Type – American Stout

Appearance – Poured a bold black color with a light brown head that left some lacing.

Smell – Smelled like powdered chocolate, like what’s used to make chocolate milk.  Some roasted malt flavors are present.

Taste – A good milk chocolate tasted up front with some presence of roasted malts and a slight hint of coffee.

Pretty good all around stout.  It seemed a little thin in it’s consistency than typical stouts but that was fine and went with the sweetness of this one.  Real chocolate was used in the brewing of this and it comes through that way.  Well made stout.

Overall Grade – B

Name – Chocolate Indulgence Stout
Country – United States
Type – Chocolate Stout

Appearance – Poured an opaque black color with a light brown head that left some nice lacing on the glass.

Smell – Milk chocolate smell with sweet malts.

Taste – Tastes of dark chocolate with a slight roasted flavor to it and nice malt backing.

This is a little light for a stout, not completely a full body on it but I like that in this one.  Beer Advocate calls it a Belgian Dark Strong and I really don’t get that classification.  I guess because of the body of it.  But there is little doubt to me that this is a stout and a really good one at that.

Overall Grade – A
