2008-2009 version tasted 4/12/09

Black Chocolate Stout poured a pitch black color with a finger width, light brown head.  The aroma was very rich, with lots of roasted malt and a huge chocolate nose.  The body is complex, with more roasted malt, and is sweet up front with a distinct chocolate taste.  The finish is short, but enjoyable with a medium dryness to it.  This beer is very well balanced as it moves from the sweetness and chocolate up front to a dry finish that is not overwhelming.  This is a fantasic beer to pair with dessert but is just as good alone.
