Our next sampling comes from the excellent Stone Brewery. This is a limited release, but has been fairly available at most places I've looked. Let's give it a try....
It pours opaque with a dark brown head
It smells of dark cocoa and mildly sweet. The sweetness is rounded off by a distinct roastiness.
The taste is rich and bitter. It is creamy and the chocolate forms in the body, giving big cocoa notes.There is a little sweetness, but it is cut off by the roasty coffee tones in the end. It finishes chewy and thick.
The aftertaste is biscuity chocolate and slightly bitter. The cocoa takes you straight through.
This is an excellent big bold chocolate taster. It's 9.2% and available in 22oz bottles.
Cheers!
