Made with: 2-row barley, caramel 60 malt, barley flakes, chocolate malt, and bittersweet Belgian chocolate.  Don’t forget the hops: kettle hops; Chinook and Willamette.   This stout is best served at 48 degrees.

Southern Tier Choklat Stout has a black body and a rich dark tan head.  This 11% abv stout has a rich deep dark chocolate nose that makes you want to bite the rim of the glass while you smell this stout.  The aroma even has a creamy style. 

The flavors are wonderful.  This is a quality chocolate stout.  If you want to compare chocolate stouts for quality this is your template.  They use bittersweet Belgian chocolate in the brewing process and it shows up on the palate.  This is a chocolate lovers dream (if you like beer that is).  The caramel, barley, chocolate malts, and the Belgian Chocolate combine for one tasty treat. 

Chocolate just covers the palate.  As the stout warms there is a better bitter-sweet style coming through.  A touch of burnt sugar and creamy caramel add to this tasty chocolate stout.

The mouthfeel is rich, smooth, and creamy.  There is a lingering bitter chocolate coffee note on the tongue. 

This 650 ml bottle will run you around $8.00 a bottle and it is worth every penny.
