Chocolate Stout
Penlon Cottage Trading Ltd

Purchased from Discount Supermarket. Poured into a pint glass.

Pours a dark watery black colour, with a small white head, no lacing.

Smells dark and stronger than it's actual abv.

Tastes nice, very nice mix of hops and malts like the bitter but this time darker and more burnt undertones. You can tell the difference in malt types.

Overall a lovely stout, very drinkable.

Appearance: Intensely dark brown to black in colour with a big fluffy off-white head, and slight carbonation.

Aroma: The nose is rich and toasty, with a slight bready graininess about it. Not a great deal of chocolate considering the name.

Taste: Subtly sweet at the start, with a mild brown sugar, and hints of roasted cashew nuts. In the middle a little bitter chocolate becomes apparent, alongside a weak gritty coffee taste. The finish is soft and almost sweet, with a grainy, and cookie-like taste.

Mouthfeel: Medium to heavy in the body, with quite lively carbonation in the palete. At times it feels like it has the potential to be super smooth but it is slightly overactive to fully achieve it.

Drinkability: Seems to disappear incredibly quickly, which I assume means it has decent drinkability. Not sure about the name, as I don't think the chocolate is really that noticeable but this doesn't take away from the fact that this is a very tasty stout.
