Tonight's beer: Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout (2009-10)
Fruit and caramel come forward, run up against a wall of dark unsweetened chocolate front and center. Coffee, dark bread, leather, smoke, earth, and grass. Nicely dry, even with all those sweet notes.
The body is a bit lighter than the younger bottles, probably a matter of the beer changing over time, rather than a difference in the bottlings. Nicely carbonated; impressively drying; scarily refreshing. Alcohol so well-hidden as to be undetectable.
An amazine beer, still awesomely well-balanced and -integrated, Two hears in the bottle have definitely not hurt this beer a bit, and might have helped at least a little. Alarmingly drinkable. Massively flavorful—intense and complex. Alcohol carried with astounding grace and subtlety. Very gentle warmth emerges in belly. Yummy as hell.
