Commendable flesh-headed mahogany-bodied ‘import-export’ stout utilizes Irish ale yeast and Belgian chocolate to propel robust full body. Creamy dark-roasted chocolate entry picks up immediate cocoa-chalked hazelnut coffee resilience and unexpected floral fruited frolic for rounded mouthfeel. Beneath, tar-like tobacco-stained wood-charred bittering seeps into vanilla-espresso conflux and docile blueberry-pureed black cherry rasp.

Frothy brown chocolate-vanilla creaminess rises above hop-oiled walnut toasting and tannic grape tartness. Roasted Brazil nut, cola nut, and macadamia illusions sharpen bittersweet mocha-influenced black cherry-pureed backdrop.

Amiably smooth tan-headed brown-bodied milkshake-like dessert treat nowhere near as ferociously heady as beastly name implies. A tad watery for ‘luscious chocolate stout’ status, but truly rewarding as moderate-bodied crossover for dark lager stylists. Mildly creamed brown chocolate-y cocoa bean sweetness lingers above recessive espresso coffee bittering. Ashen hop-charred roast dryly counters oncoming vanilla-sugared toffee dalliance.

Astonishing creamy chocolate malted theme dominates fabulous Imperial stout. Super-sweet milk chocolate-y frontage benefits from residual vanilla, hazelnut, and cherry cordial illusions heightening thickened chocolate cake finish. Compares favorably to Young’s Double Chocolate and Rogue Chocolate Stout.

Voracious dark-roasted espresso theme forms above lactic black chocolate and smoked molasses. Oily coffee resin sidles roasted hops, flaked barley, and toasted cereal oats as purple grape esters pierce tart cherry puree reminder, adding to well-balanced robustness.

Lactic cocoa-powdered porter bursts forth with roasted chocolate malting, black coffee souring and maple molasses sweetening, picking up hazelnut and macadamia illusions for lofty dry mocha finish.

Extremely thick molasses-coated amber ale with wonderful chocolate vigor. As black as Guinness in appearance, and almost as incredible. Though not water-based like most Canadian brews, Black Amber retains clean crispness despite such dark auspices. Blackened caramel malts, powdery cocoa bittering and ashen dried fruited backdrop compatible to light porter styling. Lengthier creamy finish would suffice, but no one is arguing.

Deep-roasted mocha-malted nuttiness and mannered English-styled hop bitterness anchor frothy tawny-headed stout. But ridiculously fluffy carbolic foam conceals acidic fig-dried raisin sourness and tertiary kumquat splotch, blemishing re-heated coffee finish and full-bodied nature. If only it was richer…

Complex chocolate liqueur sass abruptly countered by dry barley roast and coffee bean bitterness. Simultaneous sweet chocolate creaminess and affluent honey accrual formulate eager barleywine nuance. Finely detailed, if overtly fizzy, finishing with sour mocha indifference. Serve to novice lager and pilsner drinkers ready to plunge into more aggressive fare. Brewery defunct: circa 2004.

Chunky chocolate and creamy caramel provide milky creaminess to surging coffee-burnt hazelnut mantra for deep mocha penetration.

Brewed with Dutch cocoa and retaining lactic brown-sugared chocolate fudging, medium-bodied stout also reveals secondary raw molasses, charred walnut, and burnt cedar illusions. On the horizon, chicory-doused black coffee influence darkens roasted hop bittering. But flawed charcoal scorch haunts oily mocha finish.
