#218 Young's - Double Chocolate Stout

This beer is a pretty widely distributed beer, available at many grocery stores and most beer stores. The chocolate flavor of this beer comes from real chocolate and the use of chocolate malt, a dark roast malt with chocolate flavors.

The beer has a sharp chocolate liquor aroma, mixed with roasted malt. The color is black with just a slight bit of light coming through. The head is light brown and just thick enough to be noticed.

There is a lot of dark malts used in this beer, the flavor is roasty and malty. There is a slight coffee, almost burnt coffee taste. There is a chocolate taste, but it is subtle, just coming across in the background. The mouthfeel is thin and smooth, reminiscent of chocolate. The finish is roasty.

This is a tasty beer with a ton of dark malt flavors. I wouldn't drink more than over of these every now and then, but it is a good beer.
