Brooklyn Brewing - Black Chocolate Stout



Ahh, now this is my kind of beer. This beer means business and you can tell from the first sniff. It smells richly of coffee and chocolate. The flavor is like sipping on a warm mocha, if a beer could taste like that. Many Russian Imperial Stouts have a strong alcohol overtone to the flavor, owing to the 10+% ABV. Not this one. It is smooth and delicious. Drinking this beer is warming, like a glass of good scotch, and the rich, complex flavor will probably lead you to drink a few more than you should at 10.5%.

Sadly my friends, this beer is not (at this time) available in Minnesota. Hopefully the beer Gods will see their way clear to bring distribution of this and other Brooklyn Brewing products to Minnesota.
