Well, anything with double chocolate in its name has to be good, and Young's Double Chocolate Stout is no exception. This brew is the weakest one that has been rated on this site, sitting at only 5.2% alcohol, but what do you expect from a chocolate stout? It pours a darwn brown with a milky head which fades quickly. It smells like dun dun dunnnnn!!!! chocolate, with a little bit of roasted malt. Even though it smells divine, the taste is a little disappointing: bland, with a slight chocolate taste. This brew is lacking in the texture, and has almost no body to it, it tastes good but nothing like I thought it would after the first whiff after pouring. I'd suggest this as a good desert beer, hell, it may be the best double chocolate stout out there.

Going to be trying this tonight, damn you beer magazine ads! Also, recently had Ommegang's Three Philosophers, North Coast Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout, and most of the Exit Series by Flying Fish. Good stuff all around, I'd be interested in your guy's opinions, or just Deke's since Fonnie seems to be away, heh.
