Young's Double Chocolate Stout
Eagle Brewery

 

A thorough distribution of nitro makes for a milkshake tan pour from top to bottom until it cascades out to a fluffy muffin top over a matte black body.

Unusually savory, nutty, roasty, and almost smoky, but velvety smooth, it's almost more porter than chocolate at first, but then the chocolate comes out in the form of light baker's cocoa, in time.

After the nitro subsides, I find it a little tastier, and less odd.

Deep black with a big creamy head. Strong chocolate aroma with roasted malt. The taste is mostly chocolate with a hoppy bitterness in the finish. Good stout.

Nitro draft pour. Mild chocolate flavor balanced against the roasted malt. Subtle hops, really scarcely notable. Smooth, creamy mouth feel. A very delicious beer.

I love this stout for the first half of the bottle—and then I’m tired of it before I’ve finished. I’ve even poured out the last couple of ounces as I wasn’t enjoying it any more. I’d buy it more often if it came in little bottles like the mini Coronas. It has a wonderful mouth feel. Maybe I need to pair it with some different foods.

Poured like a typical nitro infused stout, mostly brown foam that cascaded into stout black liquid in the glass. Probably gorgeous if you have a big enough glass to pour it all at once.
The taste is a decent stout, if there is chocolate, it is cocoa powder and not milk chocolate. No real bitterness but no real chocolate either.
The soft feel caused by the nitro (they use a widget too) makes me *want* to taste the chocolate, I just can’t.
I think if I try this again it would be the bottle version, not the can.

 

Bottle expired december 2023, tastes ok but very thin.

12 ounce draft pour into a tulip style pint glass.

Pouring dark brown with a modest beige cap that leaves spots of lace. Aroma of chocolate malt with hints of dried fruit indicate a more tart than sweet brew. Flavor is lightly sweet chocolate malt, and tangy woody hops with minor roasted malt and coffee flavors. Smooth medium-weight mouthfeel with a very light chalkiness. Lots of subtle character with this one, seems more traditional than the American Sweet Stouts that I am used to. Very good, and light enough (feel and ABV) to be a session drinker.

 

 

 

 

 

(BBD 28 Dec 22) - Nitro version. Poured a velvety black color from a 14.9 oz. can into a standard pint glass with a creamy finger high head that receded slowly and left curtain lacing that clung to the glass as it dissipated. Aroma is earthy and grainy which is fairly standard for the style. Taste is chocolate forward but is not overly chocolaty and has hints of chicory, roasted malts & grain. Mouth is smooth, medium bodied with a clean finish and is very drinkable. Picked up for under $10 for a 4 pack and was quite pleased wit the purchase.

 

Very tasty beer. Thick... not too heavy!

 

Poured from a 11.2oz bottle dated 28 JUL 22 to a diagonally cut tumbler at fridge temp but was slowly sipped and allowed to warm.
The body is opaque black with a short, deep tan head on top that fades but provides some quickly disappearing lacing.
Chocolate is dominant in the smell as is the alcohol. Some dried fruit can be sensed also.
The taste brings the dried fruit out more prominently; cherrys, raisins, all “chocolate covered”. This beer bridges between the sweet and the bitter. Overall the taste is reminiscent of a box full of a fruity alcohol chocolate sampler.
Mouthfeel seems rather thin frankly, but it does leave your lips sticky.
I am not quite sure about how I feel about this beer. It was worth the experience, but will not be a repeat purchase.
