Now Drinking (July 28, 2010)…

… a Young’s Double Chocolate Stout.
I must admit, I’m not familiar with any other Young’s offering besides this one, so nothing more to say. Right on to the review…
It pours a dark brown, almost black, with a thin bit of tan foam. Aroma is of roasty malts, coffee, and chocolate. Taste too is of coffee and chocolate — but a bittersweet chocolate, rather than a sweet milk chocolate. Very nice stuff.
I rated this a 3.6 on RateBeer.com, where its average score is a 3.77. It is a 99th percentile beer in its style (stouts) and 98th percentile overall.

This is a holiday favorite (I tend to splurge on singles when feeling festive). Love it.

Jason, my personal holiday favorite is Great Lakes Christmas Ale. Have you had it? It’s the beery equivalent of a Christmas cookie. YUM.

Young’s is a fine drop indeed
