SNAKE RIVER ZONKER STOUT
Marvelous creamy chocolate sweetness and chewy cookie dough thickness counter distinct burnt coffee sourness for absolutely perfect dry stout. Frothy mocha notes abound amongst sinewy yeast texture, as hints of black cherry, cocoa butter, and red currant add further complexity to slow sipping robustness. Yet sturdily rich alcohol-strengthened Zonker succinctly leavens pervasive boldness with enchanting textural calmness.
SOUTHERN TIER CHOKLAT STOUT
Astonishing creamy chocolate malted theme dominates fabulous Imperial stout.

ARCADIA COCOA LOCO STOUT
STONEY CREEK DOUBLE CHOCOLATE ALE
Lactic cocoa-powdered porter bursts forth with roasted chocolate malting, black coffee souring and maple molasses sweetening, picking up hazelnut and macadamia illusions for lofty dry mocha finish.
BIG ROCK BLACK AMBER ALE
Extremely thick molasses-coated amber ale with wonderful chocolate vigor. As black as Guinness in appearance, and almost as incredible. Though not water-based like most Canadian brews, Black Amber retains clean crispness despite such dark auspices. Blackened caramel malts, powdery cocoa bittering and ashen dried fruited backdrop compatible to light porter styling. Lengthier creamy finish would suffice, but no one is arguing.
TEN SPRINGS FAT BEAR STOUT
Deep-roasted mocha-malted nuttiness and mannered English-styled hop bitterness anchor frothy tawny-headed stout. But ridiculously fluffy carbolic foam conceals acidic fig-dried raisin sourness and tertiary kumquat splotch, blemishing re-heated coffee finish and full-bodied nature. If only it was richer…
(BERGER) CHOCOLATE STOUT
Complex chocolate liqueur sass abruptly countered by dry barley roast and coffee bean bitterness. Simultaneous sweet chocolate creaminess and affluent honey accrual formulate eager barleywine nuance.

UPLAND CHOCOLATE STOUT
BISON CHOCOLATE STOUT
Brewed with Dutch cocoa and retaining lactic brown-sugared chocolate fudging, medium-bodied stout also reveals secondary raw molasses, charred walnut, and burnt cedar illusions. On the horizon, chicory-doused black coffee influence darkens roasted hop bittering. But flawed charcoal scorch haunts oily mocha finish.
(WHITBREAD) MACKESON TRIPLE XXX STOUT
Exceptional jet black-hued milk stout with frothy russet head, unassuming ash aroma, and nose-tingling fizz pours like mud. Blood-thickened maple sap sweetness, chocolate malt creaminess, and sherry-soaked Merlot Noir periphery provide sugary resolve. Heavily lactic burnt caramel sprawl and sour buttermilk skulk fill out dry powdery mocha finish, fading a tad too quick for highly exalted ‘triple’ status. Drink slowly to appreciate its splendor. Now brewed in Cincinnati and sold at bargain basement price.
BROOKLYN BLACK CHOCOLATE STOUT
Boozy 10% alcohol Russian Imperial pours like mud. Tarry pine char and sticky anise nearly overwhelm bittersweet hop-roasted black chocolate expectancy and smoky black-malted coffee roast. Penetrating vanilla creaminess, pervasive tar-like molasses sinew and cocoa-chalked burnt caramel richness given coarsely nutty imminence. Strong port-dried bourbon-burgundy-sherry finish increases its compact complexity.
