This exit is probably best known for it’s view of the Newark airport, but it is also home to the Port of Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal, one of the busiest in the world. Elizabeth was also New Jersey’s original capitol. Many food products come through the port, 9 including the Belgian chocolate we’re using for what we’re calling an import/export stout.
This fuller “export style” stout gives a sturdy base for the rich chocolate flavor. More than 600 pounds of Belcolade chocolate went into this brew. A mix of imported and domestic malts are highlighted by roastiness from dark wheat. An Irish ale yeast and Pacific Northwest hops combine to create an excellent dessert beer as well as one to share in the cool weather with friends.

Bottle thanks to someone who I cannot recall. Pours black with a brown head that dissipates completely. Aroma has notes of dark chocolate and roasted malts with a bit of sweet grains backing. Flavor is similar with dark chocolate and roasted malts with a sweet but dry finish. An interesting beer.

Fudge aroma, with hints of prune. Black, thin brown head. Chocolate flavor, cocoa and walnut in the finish. Creamy mouthfeel. Solid and well rounded.

Location: 750 ml bottle from Buy Rite - Jersey City, 3/11/11
Aroma: The nose is roasted and chocolaty, heavy malty, with just a hint of citrus hops
Appearance: Pours an opaque brown-black color with a small fluffy tan head and spotty lace
Flavor: The taste is roasted/burnt malts and dark chocolate with light sweetness and bitterness
Palate: This one has a fairly creamy mouthfeel, a medium body, and fairly soft carbonation
Overall Impression: I like the description of this one as an import/export stout because the area has a lot of ports. Cleaver guys... Anyway, on to the beer, I thought this was a pretty solid beer. Lots of roasted/burnt malt flavor and semi-sweet chocolate dominate this one with some other components as well. Good stuff.

750mL green glass bottle pours dark darkness with full creamy mocha head with spotty lacing. The aroma does have a pleasing level of chocolate that mixes with black strap molasses, earthy chili pepper meat like notes, a thin layer of burnt toast and faint milk chocolate. The taste begins smooth with a nice level of dark chocolate and quickly picking up near burnt malts and earthiness. Toward about midway a sliver of spicy black licorice comes to the surface for a moment before this slides down a chocolate slide into the finish. Very nice chocolate stout.
