Imperial Choklat Stout

Have you fallen in love recently? Wellllllllll, fuck man... I know I haven't, BUT at least I've got Imperial Choklat Stout in my glass now to make me feel better about my situation. Yes, I know more Chocolate stout's, but what can I say... they are tasty. So, I'll just slightly re-quote myself here and say, "Imperial Choklat Stout effectively blends two of my favorite things - Chocolate and good 'ol dark beer."

Choklat pours out smoothly with almost no head, but if you wait a moment a slightly tan head appears majestically and then disappears quite soon afterwards - much like love in my life. The color is blacker than night though also slightly dark brown at the same time. Damn thing actually looks like watered down chocolate syrup but still similar to a delicious mouth watering foaming stouty brew. The aroma is quite simply outstanding. Holy shit, son, it seriously smells just like chocolate! Its like I died and woke up in the Wonka chocolate factory with a cup of coffee alongside me to keep me attentive and prolong my confectionery intake.

And the taste... Arggggguuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmm.... oh yeah, baby... (plus other drooling, sexual discharge sounds and such). It tastes just like it smells. Even the head is chocolatey, almost like a warm cup of hot cocoa, but with alcohol and much colder, of course. Oh man, this is good... I could probably drink several of these, but since its 1 pt. 6 fl. oz. in size and 10.0% alc. vol. as well as the $8 price tag tells me I should probably just drink one for today. Man, oh man, that taste is something else. I could chug this stout if I wanted, but my senses tell me to take it slowly and enjoy. Still, I look at my glass half empty and the bottle completely empty and I wish I had another ready to go. :(

And the after taste is interesting too. Not bitter or bad in anyway, in fact it leaves a cocoa-ish lip smacking wonderfulness that really, really makes me wish I had another one on hand (guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow). Thick, creamy and sexy like a stout should be, Imperial Choklat Stout really hits the mark with me. Also taking a glance at, southerntierbrewing.com will reveal that this brewery has many interesting drinks to try, especially, 'jah*va Imperial Coffee Stout,' which is making my lips wet just thinking about it.

Aside from that, the bottle is fairly normal pint sized and the artwork is decent, but I wish it could have something that revealed the taste more. I dunno, maybe like a hand dipping a chocolate bar into a dark beer? Hmmm... Southerntier has found a new loyal customer after tasting this first-rate stout and I greatly look forward to sampling more from them. Is it better than love and sex? Well, I get neither, so I say go with the Choklat, drink a few with your friends and wonder why woman are so fucked up as you get fucked up together. Now, excuse me, I've got a plate of brownies, the rest of the this stout to drink and some thrash metal to head bang too. Good night.
