Double Chocolate Stout? This sounds like a gimmick. I mean, come on - it's in a nitro can. Let's see what comes from it...
Black as hell. Pretty reminiscent of Guinness, actually. Especially with the way the head settles with a cascading effect. It almost looks like an imperial stout, too. One whiff and you know why it's called chocolate stout. It smells like liquid chocolate (or liquid sex - depends on how you look at it). It is a very sweet smelling brew. Whilst trying it out, it reminded me, again, of Guinness. It was kinda watery as it entered the mouth and then the chocolate kicked in (oh so nice). It was a very sweet brew. But, this brew has almost no texture. I mean, it's better than, say, Bud. But, in comparison to the other high-class brews we've had lately, this is highly lacking. It's kinda watery and has no body. The flow of the flavors was nice but they didn't hit you in the way that a 4.3+ beer on this site would.
Overall, I can see this brew being a great dessert beer. It's a pretty good gimmick beer - at least they succeeded in that.
Appearance - 3.9
Smell - 4.3
Taste - 3.9
Texture - 3.5
Overall - 3.9/5
