Our head brewer at our Windsor brewery homebrewed a batch of chocolate stout for himself after trying the style at a beer dinner and loving it. After several Harpooners tried Scott’s batch, we knew that we needed to add this beer to our lineup. It was originally introduced as a limited edition extra in our winter mix pack back in 2008, but it was soon apparent that our drinkers wanted more of this beer (a beer made with chocolate…not too hard to understand!), so we brought it back in 6-packs in 2010.
Description
A chocolate stout is a beer with a noticeable dark chocolate flavor. This flavor is created from the use of darker, more aromatic malt that has been roasted or kilned until it acquires a chocolate color. Harpoon Chocolate Stout is brewed with an abundance of chocolate malt and a touch of chocolate.

Bottle from mora2000. Pours with a fading tan head over a deep brown body. Aroma is solidly CHOCOLATE MILK and a bit of earthiness. One of the most chocolaty beers this side of Chokolat. Taste is dirt, chocolate, dust and earth. Creamy carbonation. A very good Harpoon beer!

12oz bottle, drank a week after expiration. Opaque black, with a thinnish beige head. Sweet pronounced chocolate aroma. Big-time chocolate syrup taste going on, which more than suggests additive. Out of the beers that I’ve had with the overwhelming chocolate syrup taste, this is the cleanest, most drinkable. On the lighter side of full-bodied, retains a nice drinkability. Creamy and rich, this is a pretty cool and unique beer, great for a tasting sampler.

Smells dully chocolate, perhaps some coffee aroma in there too. No gunk on the bottom of the bottle. Yes, lots of choco flavor, yet without terrible bitterness. Dark beery and chocolate fer sure. Mild bitter wet burned wood flavors mildly linger. On finish, mild coffee aftertaste. I may have even detected some very faint hints of sour in there. Decently mild lower alky beer experience witn good dark beer personality.

The pour is dark brown with clear brown edges and thin tan head. The aroma is full yummy fudgy fig brownie and a sense of dark roastiness. The taste is nice and chocolaty like followed by figs, peaches, vanilla, fudge and some dark roasted malts. Wow, lots of rich flavor going on here. Yum.

Pours deep mahogany into a shaker. Mocha head with good retention leaves no lacing as it pancakes. Chocolate syrup aromas. Upfront tingling chocolate that sours in the middle and evens out to chocolate again in the dry finish.
