Lancaster Brewing Double Chocolate Milk Stout

I took my fiancee out to lunch one day at Lancaster Brewing Company, and I ordered a glass of Double Chocolate Milk Stout. The beer pours a black color with a frothy beige head. The aroma is filled with dark chocolate that is bitter on the nose, caramel, and roasted malts. The taste is bold with dark and bitter chocolate up front. Caramel comes out in the transition as milk chocolate sweetens the finish. A dry after taste with the roasted flavor is left behind and lingers for a while. The alcohol content is 6.7% ABV. I thought this was actually a pretty solid offering from Lancaster Brewing Company, as I am not always a fan of their beers. There was plenty of great chocolate flavor that comes from nibs and not powder, making it a great beer.

Lancaster Brewing Company Double Chocolate Milk Stout

I went to Al's of Hampden to order a glass of Lancaster Double Chocolate Milk Stout. The beer pours a black color with a thin bubbly tan head. The aroma consists of lots of chocolate with milk accents. The taste is big on chocolate, some oak hidden in there, and toasted malts. The alcohol content is 6.7% ABV. I thought the Double Chocolate Milk Stout was very delicious but does come off a little dry for a milk stout.

Rogues Chocolate Stout with Rogue Hazelnut Rum

At the Beer for Boobs brunch held at Fresh Craft in Denver, the Women in Beer crew brought some Rogue spirits with them for additions into the draft beers. Naturally, I ordered a glass of Rogue Double Chocolate Stout, to be accompanied with a shot of Rogue Hazelnut Rum. The beer pours a black color with a thin filmy tan head. The aroma consists of chocolate and hazelnut. The taste mostly consists of chocolate with some oak accents as well. The profile of the beer was changed somewhat with the sweet hazelnut finish. The alcohol content is the Double Chocolate Stout is 8.0% ABV, but the rum definitely increased the alcohol content somewhat. The Hazelnut Rum completely made an amazing beer incredible, and I would like to continue adding the rum to my Double Chocolate Stouts in the future. But there is one caveat, the extra shot catches up with you.
