Brewed By:
Brooklyn
Self-Defined Style:
Imperial Stout This is the famous Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout, our award-winning rendition of the Imperial Stout style, once made exclusively for Catherine the Great. We use three mashes to brew each batch of this beer, achieving a luscious deep dark chocolate flavor through a blend of specialty roasted malts. We brew it every year for the winter season. It is delicious when newly bottled, but also ages beautifully for years.
Best With:
Served in a snifter, Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout is excellent with chocolate desserts, cheesecake, fruit tarts, and ice cream. It is also a very good accompaniment to strong cheeses, especially Stilton.

Lovely beer. 10% but does not feel to be as strong as an Imperial. Great dark brown lingering head with nice lacing. Definite choc, coffee tastes.
