Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout

Pros: Full, rich body is incredible!
Cons: It's not brewed year round!

Located in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, New York, the Brooklyn Brewery is one of the state’s premiere brewing operations. It was opened in 1987 and it produces 7 year- round brews along with several seasonal offerings. The beer I’m going...

Pros: Warming, satisfying, dessert beer.
Cons: Limited availability.

Black Chocolate Stout is the winter seasonal from the Brooklyn Brewery, and that's the perfect season for this rich, warming brew. An imperial stout by style, it's a sustaining, restorative brew of substantial character and flavor. Imperial stouts were ...

Pros: Readily available in many states; survives well in bottles; inexpensive for the style.
Cons: Might feel you have to share such a strong beer.

New York Hearts Garrett Oliver. Brooklyn's Garrett Oliver is something of a rockstar in brewing circles. From his revival of brewing in Brooklyn in 1996, to his books extolling the virtues of pairing beer with food (or is that food with ...

Pros: Created for dark brew aficionados; everything you could want in an Imperial and then some.
Cons: Expensive and limited; you won't like it.

When I first read the BarAmerica.com blurb on Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout, I became rather captivated by the idea of actually enjoying one all to myself. But living in Midwest I was already aware that the chances of anyone local carrying...

Pros: rich, chocolate taste (at first); super smooth; surprisingly light in weight
Cons: taste becomes flat and alcoholic quickly; no reason for such high potency

Stouts tend to have a chocolaty taste, but ones that actually advertise themselves as chocolate beers, in my experience, have been only average at best. Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout is, to date, the best “chocolate beer” I’ve had, but ...

Pros: Big, Big, mellow stout, smooth and delicious, perfect for the colder months...
Cons: Only available for the winter, usually runs out before the weather!

BruGuru, hope I can share the spotlight with you on this one - living in NYC has one distinct advantage over anywhere else in the country...We get the Black Chocoloate Stout FIRST- HAH HAH HAH....

Guess what, it's finally here- though not...

Pros: a meal unto itself
Cons: only a seasonal

This beer was a revelation when it first came out. I was already a fan of the Brooklyn Brewing Company but this beer put them over the top. It is a winter time seasonal that I anxiously await each year. It was the result of the Brooklyn Brewing ...

Pros: Stout and chocolate in perfect combination
Cons: A bit bitter on the after taste

I am a stout and dark beer fan, to say the very least, and I've had my share of good stouts and bad. I decided to take a flyer on the Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout for two reasons: I like stouts and I like chocolate. On the nose there is some of the...

Pros: A delicious relaxing beer
Cons: Limited availability

I recently bought a 6-pack of Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout, and must say that Brooklyn brewmaster Garrett Oliver has crafted another masterpiece. This wonderful stout is styled after the English Imperial Stouts of the 19th century, extremely rich,...

Pros: Delicious, not expensive for the quality and alcohol content
Cons: Too heavy for some people

One sign of approaching winter is the availability of Brooklyn Chocolate Stout. An apt description would be "dessert in a bottle". Weighing in at around 8% alcohol, it isn't something to toss back by the 6-pack. Two things came to mind the...

Pros: A Delicious Bitter Chocolate Treat
Cons: Expensive. Might be hard to find.

The Brooklyn Brewery has been around since 1987. Their current offerings include 7 year round beers ...

Pros: Dark, rich and chocolaty.
Cons: Fills you up quick.

When I first tasted this beer I was in love. Brooklyn's Black Chocolate Stout is one of the best beers in this category. It is dark and has slight chocolate undertones. If you are not into dark beers, stay away from this. It really hits the spot in...

Pros: As stout as stout gets.
Cons: Perhaps too stout for some

If you have not tried this seasonal giant from the Brooklyn Brewery, you are missing out on one of the most powerful beers in the galaxy.

This beer is so dark it pours like motor oil. In fact, you would swear that it is similar in viscosity,...

Pros: This is like, "I like heaven because..."
Cons: "I don't like heaven because..."

Stout drinkers now have an idol to worship.

Right after a pour, the first thing you'll notice is that you are staring into the abyss. The color of this stout is flat out "no sun shining through" black. Looking through a glass of this stuff...

Pros: All of the dark malts
Cons: All of the dark malts

This beer is delicious. If you like the flavor of dark malts you'll love this beer. It is a pretty good representation of an Imperial Stout. That being dark with some bitterness and high alcohol. Even at 8 or 9% alcohol, though, it is not strong...
