Day 99 Beer 99 Double Chocolate Stout, Wells and Young Brewing Co. Bedford England

Across the ocean in search of a better chocolate stout to the country known for some of its stouts, England. Chocolate malts and real dark chocolate are combined with a dark ale to make tonight's brew. It poured a dark, dark chocolate colour that allowed almost no light to pass through it. It produced lots of creamy dark milk chocolate heat that left nice sticky lacing across the surface and that clung to the glass as you drank it. The aroma was dark chocolate and roasted malts with hints of coffee, caramel and toffee. The taste mirrors the smell bitter dark chocolate, roasted malts, coffee with a hint of sweet toffee and vanilla. Overall a nice creamy feel and a well balanced light taste even with the 5.2%ABV. No comparison to last nights stout. This is what a stout should taste like, it was worth the trip to Bedford. Oh yeah, it comes is a 16.9 oz bottle so there is lots to enjoy. 4 out of 5.
