Detroit Brewing Chocolate Stout: Review


 
The Stout
Detroit Brewing Chocolate Stout
Sanders fine chocolate
Brewed and Bottle for Detroit Brewing Company
By: Detroit Rivertown Brewing Company
7.8% abv
My Strength Rating:4.5

There is a bite of roasted coffee and a touch of chocolate on the nose.

The body is black with some cola highlights.  There is a good looking tan head.

The overall taste is okay to good.  A nice touch of dark chocolate greets the palate.  As the stout warms there is a roasted mild-medium coffee note but not that strong.  There seems to be a good balance between the bitter and sweet notes. 

Not a strong stout. Not a creamy stout. A good introductory chocolate stout.
There is a lingering aftertaste of bitter dark chocolate. 
Overall an average, at best, stout.  I have never had this stout before and I was hoping for more from the stout. 

To the Point: A good introductory chocolate stout.
