Brewbound Review:

The label says it all. If you’re looking for a Chocolate Stout, this is it. But be warned, this beer is 10 percent despite what you may think while drinking. Brooklyn Chocolate Stout pours jet black in color with a very small amount of brown colored head. The nose is exactly what you would expect, chocolate upon chocolate. If you dig past the intense chocolate aroma however, you will pick up a nice roast character, some dark fruits and a hint of toffee. The taste follows the smell with this one. Dark chocolate, roast and a coffee-like bitterness dominate your palate. A smooth but viscous mouthfeel and medium carbonation make this beer incredibly enjoyable from start to finish. Overall, this is one of the most enjoyable imperial stouts you can find with relative ease. The 12-ounce format is perfect for a beer that checks in at such a high ABV. The label art is simple and elegant and definitely stands out on the shelf.

Just brewed my own chocolate stout so I bought this for a comparison. Beer's 10% abv is present in both smell and taste.

Great taste but expect super strong flavor. Not to be taken lightly.
