Name – Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout
Country – United States
Type – Russian Imperial Stout
Appearance – Pours a completely opaque black color with a big brown head on top. It does leave a good amount of lacing on the glass.
Smell – Chocolate, roasted malts and a slight bit of hops come to the nose.
Taste – A bittersweet chocolate taste up front that is followed with roasted malts and a little coffee flavor. There is a little bit of a hop and alcohol bite at the very end.
The distributor for Brooklyn in our neck of the woods doesn’t really bring us a big selection of Brooklyn brews so seeing this one I had to jump on it knowing it wouldn’t be around for long. Nice full flavored beer that masks the 10.6% ABV pretty nicely. This would make a very good after dinner drink that can serve as a desert of it’s own.
Overall Grade – B+

I love this beer. Simply terrific. I’ve been trying to get a little Black Ops to try but haven’t been able to.
