Youngs Double Chocolate Stout

Youngs Double Chocolate Stout

STYLE: Milk / Sweet Stout
STATS: 5.2% ABV

The beer is pitch black with a tan, frothy head. The aroma is kind of nutty and has strong hints of chocolate & malt. The body is thick & has little carbonation, so we're good there. The flavor was an almost smoky malt w/ a tiny bit of bitterness & chocolate in the aftertaste. The alcohol is well hidden but as far as stouts go, I'm not impressed by this one. Nothing bad about this one but its very generic to me.

RATER: Joey - RATE: 2.5/5

Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout

Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout

STYLE: American Double / Imperial Stout
STATS: 9.2% ABV

Poured dark brown with a light brown thick head. Smells just like cold coffee there isn’t another way to describe it. Tastes like sweetened black coffee with hints of chocolate. It’s a pure coffee style. It’s high in alcohol, but you don’t taste is at all. It’s just a beautiful beer through and through. I highly recommend this to anyone coffee drinker or not.

RATER: Che - RATE: 4.3/5


Pours very dark brown w/ a small white head. Smells of coffee & cocoa. The beer itself is a little heavy but thats expected w/ a stout. The taste is very rich & has hints of chocolate & coffee. Its not overly sweet however. Although its a higher percentage beer, the alcohol is hidden well. Very drinkable beer & an enjoyable stout. Wish I had more of it.

512 Cascabel Cream Stout

512 Cascabel Cream Stout

STYLE: Milk / Sweet Stout
STATS: 6% ABV

This beer is a very dark & opaque pour. Has a thin cream-colored head. You can immediately smell the chocolate & coffee. It's body is medium but very smooth. The alcohol is transparent. It has a creamy sweetness that is not overpowering. Very drinkable & not overly sweet. Easily one of my favorite beers now & the best stout I've had in awhile.

Southern Tier Choklat

Southern Tier Choklat

STYLE: Imperial Stout (brewed w/ chocolate)
STATS: 10.0% ABV

A very opaque, dark brown pour w/ a thick caramel colored head. Smells strongly of chocolate w/ a hint of vanilla. As the head dissipates, you can hear the carbonation of this beer. The beer is heavy & creamy to the taste. Very sweet at first but w/ a slightly bitter aftertaste. For stout lovers like myself, this is a must try. If you're not into stouts, you may find this too sweet to drink for more than one pint. Still worth the try though.
