Chocolate Stout brewed by the Fort Collins Brewery - Colorado

A velvety smooth mouthfeel, satisfyingly roasty flavor and medium body make this brew positively seductive. Subtle hop bitterness rounds out the character of roasted barley and chocolate malt in this proven classic. Chocolate Stout took home the gold at the 2010 U.S. Open Beer Championship. This stout goes great with a traditional steak and potatoes dinner. ABV: 5.3. IBU's 33.
     

       
Beer Review from Beer Advocate:
Very dark, almost black, except for velvety walnut brown highlights when held to the light. The head is dark almond and fleeting, leaving little lace, but does leave a film on the glass with each swirl.

Rich, roasted malt and coffee is followed by unsweetened chocolate. The exquisite simplicity of the aroma requires warmth to shine as some pine resin makes a nice contrast.

There is a good dose of bitter, black coffee with baker’s chocolate. This is followed by some measure of pine sap and hops. All in all, for a stout, this one is fairly clean. There is a chocolate/coffee confection as well.

Chocolate Stout has a medium body, is dry and more carbonated than most stouts. It has a velvet texture and modest astringency.

A good drinking beer from a pint glass, this is better for social occasions and would easily mix well with bar food.
