Chocolate Stouts

Seeing the word "stout" might instantly turn some of you away from this week's entry, but I can guarantee it is not what you think. Yes, I know the word "stout" can be scary for some of you non-beer drinkers because it is most commonly associated with beers that are too strong and robust. However, this stout is a little different. I introduce to you, the Chocolate Stout.

My favorite chocolate stout, and the beer of the week is Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout. Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout is a Russian Imperial Stout, and as you can tell by it's name, brewed in Brooklyn, New York. With a hefty ten percent ABV (Alcohol By Volume), it is the perfect dessert beer, because you'll only need one.

Through my own taste-based research, it is evident that Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout is blessed with a rich chocolate and coffee taste. It also appeared to have a hint of cinnamon in the finish. I recommend pairing this stout with a chocolate dessert, cheesecake, or icecream. A few coworkers have said they have even gone as far as to make an Imperial Stout Float. Sounds rather intriguing, if I do say so myself.

I guarantee you can't go wrong by simply trying this stout. Then again, in my opinion, you can't go wrong with anything with the word chocolate in it.
