Compared side-by-side with the Double barrel variation. Thin lasting white head on top a pitch black liquid. Aroma shows me chocolate, light coffee hints, mild roast.

The flavor is of course chocolate malt like base. Mild coffee hints, some roasted malt. Body is maybe a tad thinner than I expect for a Imperial stout. Dry texture with a decent lingering coffee bitterness.

Bottle. A- Cocoa, chocolate, roasty. A- Black color, black liquid, tan fizzy head. T- Roasty, cocoa, malty. P- Medium body, thin texture, medium carbonation, roasty finish. O- In a glass this beer is so fizzy that you wouldn’t be able to tell it apart from a Coke. Not really the best of starts but okay. As the name implies it’s a Double Stout, not a Double Chocolate Stout, so don’t expect this to taste like Sam Smith’s Chocolate Stout. There is certainly a decent amount of chocolate on the nose and a little bit on the palate, but overall there isn’t much else. Some roastiness but not much complexity.
