  Pours a deep rich brown with a lovely tan two finger head of medium sized bubbles. Head stays around a long time and leaves some lacing.
  The smell is of potent milk chocolate, cocoa, with a bit of cream.
  The taste follows suit, there is a strong finish of chocolate, I instantly think of M&M's when I try to describe the flavor of chocolate. There is some roasted malts in there as well, but the chocolate dominates.
  The mouthfeel is smooth, no detectable carbonation due to the stout style. Very dry aftertaste, everything is in accordance to the dry stout style.
  Drinkability is a little above average, I drank the first pint can in about a minute, but slowed down and got full considerably after the second pint.

  A - The pour is like 4 different shades of brown that look like a mud slide swirling around as the bottom starts taking on a dark brown color and fades into a super dense mocha head that stays until the very end. Turns to a very pretty black. Nice thick lacing.
  S - Heavy milk chocolate aroma dominates. Very sweet smelling. Slight coffee notes.
  T - The flavor is a slow build. Very subtle hits of milk chocolate up front, then coffee starts coming in, dark cocoa finishes it up. Nice coffee/dark chocolate aftertaste.
  Not very complex but a great beer nonetheless. I thoroughly enjoyed this review. My only complaints is that the mouthful was a bit watery. Other than that, an outstanding stout.

  A: Pours a jet black with a massive tan head that sticks around a good long while.
  S: Rich chocolaty aroma with coffee and whipped cream stirred in.
  T: Dry dark chocolate flavor dominates up front fading to a slightly bitter roasted coffee flavor.
  D: Not bad but not the best sweet stout I've had either. Just a bit to bitter and the mouthfeel was slightly more watery than I was expecting.

  500 mL bottle, best before 24-11-10.
  Double Chocolate Stout has a deep dark color, nearly black, with creamy bone-white head. Sturdy head and some nice lacing makes for a good looking beer.
  Aroma is mostly roasty with a slightly sweet dark chocolate quality.
  Flavor is actually pretty well done. I had this beer many years ago and was less than impressed. In the spirit of beer advocacy, I thought I should give it another try and I'm glad I did. There is a good balance of flavors between bitter chocolate malt and sweeter dark chocolate. Lots of character and taste for something so low in alcohol. This is a stout that doesn't need to shout to be heard.
  Mouthfeel is medium bodied with carbonation that is just a little over zealous. I would imagine that it would be fantastic on cask - softer on the tongue.
  Overall a very solid English stout that deserves a try from any serious beer advocate, as over 1,800 of us already have.
  Served on-tap (nitro) at the Alamo Drafthouse in Katy, TX. Served in 16oz American pint glass.
  Appearance: Opaque black with remnants of a smaller off-white head with lots of lace.
  Smell: Roasted coffee with sweet chocolate.
  Taste: Begins with a sweet, roasty flavor and finishes with a lightly hopped chocolate sweetness.
  Mouthfeel: Smooth, thick, creamy body with light carbonation and a dry finish.
  Drinkability: A very good stout. I would definitely drink more and would definitely recommend this.
  On tap at Iron Abbey Gastro Pub Jun. 3, 2010.
  A- Black at a glance with med. tan head. I actually watched the head for a while, amazed that it appeared motionless and almost solid. Perfect pour!
  S- Dark chocolaty with malt.
  T- Fairly sweet then a dark chocolate kind of bitter. Definitely noted a dark coffee-chocolate on the exhale.
  M- Not as creamy as I expected, but it is not a light texture.
  D- I enjoyed this with a molten chocolate cake, and they paired well together. I do not know that I would drink this repeatedly or by itself.

  Appearance- Deep dark red color, but black at first glance. Poured a nice creamy tan head with lots of little nitrogen bubbles.
  Smell- Chocolate, light coffee hint and a small amount of maltiness. No hop aroma at all.
  Taste- Delicious dark chocolate flavor with hints of coffee. Nice roasted malt flavor as well.
  Mouthfeel- Light bodied beer that balances well with the creamy head.
  Drinkability- Good drinkability but probably wouldn't more than two though.
  Poured from a can into a pint glass. Appearance was a very dark brown with a nice tan head that dissipated into a nice ring of lacing.
  Aroma and taste of chocolate and chocolate. The taste was leaning towards a sweet milk chocolate.
  Medium body beer with mild carbonation. Very creamy and smooth.
  This is a sipping beer that you would only drink one, maybe as a night cap. Very sweet and a nice desert beer. The Yard House serves it as a desert poured over vanilla bean ice cream. A nice spin on a beer float.
  Dark appearance, barely see through the imperial pint glass. Chocolate aroma, or should I say double chocolate aroma. Delicious chocolate flavor, very smooth feel. More of a sweet stout. Great beer to sip and enjoy the good life.
  Drinkability: Easy to pass the time drinking a few of these.

  Dark dark brown appearance, a little oily, not uber thick stout. This is a tan head. Grain and chocolate aroma.
  More chocolate in the taste, and really, that's it. A little bit of roasting, not a lot of malt heft though. Even smaller amount of hops. A high degree of sweetness. Mouthfeel is good, but a feeling this would be phenomenal if it was thicker. Drinkable, cost effective, yet a tad too sweet to get itself out of the sipping/desert beer category.
