CHAOS MOUNTAIN COCOBOREALIS TRIPLE CHOCOLATE STOUT
Not living up to its lofty Triple Chocolate Stout boast, dry medium body utilizes oats-flaked cocoa nibs to enhance fudgy dark chocolate and black coffee overtures. Wispy Baltic porter tendencies (dry Saaz hop oiling and soy-milked souring) slip into the back end of over-hyped mocha elixir.
(STONE) CHRIS BANKER/ INSURGENTE XOCOVEZA MOCHA STOUT
On tap at Ambulance, Award-winning homebrewer Chris Banker and Tijuana’s Insurgente Brewery got together with San Diego’s Stone to develop this fascinating hybridized stout. Up-front, Mexican black chocolate sweetens dark-fruited assurance, mild chili peppered burn, delightful cinnamon-nutmeg spicing and wavering coffee roast.

PERENNIAL 17 MINT CHOCOLATE STOUT

TWISTED MANZANITA ENLIGHTENMINT

EVIL GENIUS PURE EVIL CHOCOLATE STOUT
Undetermined black-malted dry body opens with friendly creme brulee sweetness but drops off to chalky Baker’s chocolate anonymity. Coarse hop char and flighty roasted nuttiness undercut oats-flaked dark chocolate malting as well as bittersweet cacao nibs snip. Unspecific.
ALPINE CAPTAIN STOUT
On tap at Twisted Elm, creamy “chocolate oatmeal dry stout” places emphasis on dark-roasted mocha malting.

Tarry charcoal acridity deepens rich mocha finish.
CRICKET HILL NOCTURNE CHOCOLATE ALE
Cautiously moderate dark ale lingers in dark-roasted black patent malt purgatory as cocoa-dried dark chocolate illusions flatten out and its casual charred hop bittering and latent charcoal singe increase. Milk chocolate, espresso, anise and soy undertones never make full commitment.
