Southern Tier's Choklat

Before we begin, I am excited to say that this posting will probably bring me up to 1000 page views! Woohoo! Haha sure, some of them are generated from spam visits, but at least there are a few of ya out there reading, and that's cool by me! After all, it isn't exactly hard work. I drink beer, them spiel about it for a minute. Easy enough, and I've earned a whopping $.65 doing it! Haha okay okay, onto the beer.

Southern Tier is a company that I have come to expect greatness from. So when I picked up their big, chocolate stout Choklat, I had high hopes, and I was not disappointed. Choklat pours dark and thick with a quick fading dark brown head. The nose smells like a chocolate bar with a little bit of the booze sneaking through (10% ABV on this beast). Surprisingly, however, very little of that alcohol comes through in the taste. Dark chocolate flavors are forward with some caramel and mocha to wrap it up. There is a slight bite from the booze at the end, but not bad at all. This beer is heavy but smooth. I split the bottle with some neighbors, and I wouldn't recommend conquering this whole thing on your own because of its high alcohol and richness. All in all, this beer is dessert in my eyes. Enjoy!
