Brooklyn Brewery - Chocolate Stout

This is the famous Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout, the award-winning rendition of the Imperial Stout style once made exclusively for Catherine the Great. Brooklyn uses three mashes to brew each batch of this beer, achieving a luscious deep dark chocolate flavor through a blend of specialty roasted malts. They brew it every year for the winter season. It is delicious when newly bottled, but also ages beautifully for years.
