Video Review Gabrinus Chocolate Stout


Well we finally got a go at the Stout we made a while back. It's got a ton of roasted flavors, our best carbonation ever with a lovely caramel head, notes of bitter chocolate and not quite so much bitterness overall.
 As we talk about in the video we aimed low on the bitterness using Beamish Irish Stout that we tasted a while back as a reference point, figuring our friends are more likely to drink it. We also weren't quite sure just how much bitterness the roasted cacao would bring.
Overall a very nice drinking experience. It's smooth (not quite Guiness smooth but nice anyway) with a medium to light body for a stout and the proper color. There's just a hint of ruby coloring when held up to the light. This is certainly a fairly easy drinking stout that won't weigh you down as much as other beefier stouts. There are some nice malty notes in there too which play well against the charcoal flavors. There are no hop aromas, as it should be. We might say this is a tropical adaptation of a stout! Cheers and enjoy!
