Young’s Double Chocolate Stout is made in England by Wells & Young’s Ltd.  This is a sweet, or milk stout style.  That means unfermentable sugars are added to the brew kettle to add sweetness and counter the bitterness of the roasted malts.

 

This beer pours a deep beautiful black color with a nice brown head.  Aroma is chocolate with hints of coffee.  Mouthfeel is rich and creamy.  The flavor is what you would expect from the name and more.  Plenty of chocolate flavor, but hints of coffee and roasted malt.

 

At only 5.2 % alcohol by volume you can easily have a few of these.  This is a good introductory beer for someone wanting to try something a little different.  Don’t be afraid of the dark!
