Rouge - Double Chocolate Stout

Double Chocolate Stout is an evolution of Rogue Chocolate Stout, which is flavored with imported Dutch bittersweet chocolate. In 2010, Double Chocolate Stour received a Gold Medal at the World Beer Championships.

Made with 10 Ingredients:
Malts: C120, Chocolate and Rogue Micro Barley Farm Risk™
Hops: Cascade and Rogue Micro Hopyard Revolution.
Yeast & Water: Rogue’s Pacman Yeast and Free Range Coastal Water.

Comes in a bright red painted 750ml bottle, I purchased a case.

The ABV is 8.7 and the IBU rating is 50
Style - Imperial Stout
Glass to use- Pint Glass, Becker, Tumbler, Snifter or Oversized Wine Glass
Delivery 750ml Bottle

Can be cellared for long periods, under the proper conditions.

The Pour - Pours a black color with a big tan head. Great lacing.
Aroma - Dark chocolate fills the air as you pop the cap, malts, molasses and coffee.
Taste -  Like drinking a dark chocolate bar with other notes of malts and coffee.
Mouth Feel - Medium carbonation and big body. Very creamy.
Drinkable - Delicious!  Will obviously cellar many bottles to see how it ages. One of the best DCS I have ever had, maybe even better than the Brooklyn DCS. 

This beer pairs well with cheese and desserts (Anything chocolate!).

This beer gets a Duper rating of A+.
BeerAdvocate Rating =A-
Ratebeer Rating =100
