Brooklyn Brewery Black Chocolate Stout

Brooklyn Brewery

Nothing says winter like a good strong stout.
This imperial version starts out with a crazy head from a little too much carbonation (a good thing). Once that settles down and the lacing appears, a cold one makes for some great drinking. I dunno about drinking 6 of these, coz they're 10.1% alcohol. The starting gravity was 1.096, meaning the final gravity is 1.020, pretty sweet.
It pours like motor oil and its mouthfeel is only a little less viscous.
I recommend drinking this in the early evening, one gulp at a time, over an hour and a half, letting it warm up in the glass to experience the different textures the higher temps bring.
