Brooklyn Brewery Black Chocolate Stout
A thick and lasting tan coloured head. Even when it finally disappears it leaves a lot of lace. The beer is very dark, almost black with red tints.
A hint of a sourness in the aroma along with bitter chocolate and cream.
The mouthfeel is very rich, thick, creamy and smooth.
Taste is quite complex, plum and citrus with lots of chocolate and hints of coffee. A grapefruit like citrus sits on top of the sweeter flavours and keeps the profile quite bright.
The finish is fairly dry with some tannin feel.
I liked the grapefruit citrus on top of all the sweeter chocolate and berry tastes. It was different and seemed to make the beer brighter and more refreshing than it might have been.

Brooklyn Brewery Black Chocolate Stout
Very dark brown brew with a thin brown/tan head.
Aroma is dark chocolate, coffe and some hints of some kind of soft cheese, but in a pleasant way.
Coffee and dark chocolate at the start with a chocolate citrus middle and a drying hop bitterness at the end.
Very nice indeed.
