TMOH - Beer Review 128#: Southern Tier Choklat

[SuperTugz]

Was lucky enough to have this on tap at Southern Tier Brewery. :) Sooooo good.

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@SuperTugz Nice, its a good brew! Cheers!

[BassAssassin9]

This is a fantastic beer. Its liquid crack. This and the Rogue Double Chocolate Stout are the cream of the crop in the world of chocolate stouts. 

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@BassAssassin9 Yup its pretty darn tasty! Yeah, I prefer this over the Rogue one though. Cheers!

[enderbean5]

My good God this beer is amazing!

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@enderbean5 Yeah its great isn't it. Cheers!

i finally tried this the other night. i'm a huge fan of this brewery, being about 50 miles away from them. wasn't as sweet as i thought it would be, but this was still very good. a dessert beer, by far.

\m/ ( >.< ) \m/

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@EJE22822 Yeah I completely agree a really good dessert beer! Cheers!

[ranchy888]

I had this a few weeks ago, and although it tastes great, I still wouldn't regard it as a beer. Like you mentioned in this video, the chocolate taste is extremely overpowering and I completely agree with you. As a result of this overpowering chocolate taste, it tends to "block out" the other flavors in this beer (such as the hops, etc.). I just think Southern Tier may have used too much chocolate in order to produce this beer, perhaps it would have been better if they had used less or something.

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@ranchy888 Yeah I also regard this as a beer. Yeah the chocolate dominates alot of the flavor and aroma, but it is how it was meant to be, a chocolate bomb, you can also pick up other notes in the beer but yeah mostly its chocolate. Cheers!

[chillaxboi1]

Do you think you could upload a review of the Young's Double Chocolate that you mentioned in this video?

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@chillaxboi1 Yeah sure. Cheers!

[TheMusicalBox1026]

Finally! We just got this here as a seasonal and I'm pumped to try it, been waiting a while!

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@TheMusicalBox1026 Nice! Its like liquid chocolate! Let me know what you think. Cheers!

[9INCHRICH]

your enthusiasm has made me totally excited to want to try this beer.

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@9INCHRICH You should! Its like liquid chocolate! Cheers!

[schoolofspool]

Southern Tier Choklat with a few shots of Aecht Schlenkerla Marzen Rauchbier added = Chocolate Covered Bacon.

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@schoolofspool Ahahahahaha, that sounds so random xD

[dorf68]

I just had this and felt like these guys have no idea how to brew. too much over thr top chocolete

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@dorf68 Seriously! I thought it was amazing, sooo chocolatey. But I guess its a beer that isn't for all, because of the intense chocolate flavor. Cheers!

[BeerDisciplesSpokane]

@dorf68 It is called Choklat, how are you going to criticize them for it being too much chocolate?

[glitch777]

that stuff is amazing!!!! good review!

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@glitch777 Yeah its really good!! Thanks and cheers!

[sublime313]

TOO FUCKIN SWEET!!!!

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@sublime313 I think its really good, but it is really sweet. Cheers!

[BeerDisciplesSpokane]

@sublime313 It's called Choklat, what did you expect?

[sublime313]

@BeerDisciplesSpokane a stout that didn't taste like a glass of sugar. have you had Great Divide Oak Aged Chocolate Yeti? i've had plenty of chocolate stouts and Choklat was a horrible mess in my opinion. but it's just that: my opinion. somebody has to drink it, though. enjoy!

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@sublime313 Yeah I guess alot of people will find this too sugary and sweet, but I really liked it. Cheers!

[realaleguide]

Oh forgot to mention added this one to my favourites. Cheers!!

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@realaleguide Thanks!

[realaleguide]

That looks really good, still havent reviewed a chocolate stout im probably going to order a Sam Smiths Oatmeal Stout. Another top review Peter Cheers!!

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@realaleguide Cool, that one is pretty good. Thanks and cheers!

[JoeHell67]

Hey,

Believe it or not, just had it for the first time last week.....

i will stay tuned...

KABOOM!

[yuichituba]

I remember I had the Mokah. It was too much like dessert to me.  I couldn't enjoy it, although it's very well made.

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@yuichituba Cool, well this one was very desert like aswell...

[JoeHell67]

Hey Peter,

offtopic: sorry, can't comment on the beer, since it is unavailable here..

'for those about to rock.....we salute you!'

i think my first AC/DC Concert was in the 80's, the Fly on the wall tour....

in Würzburg....i had some beers in a plastic cup....does that count? ;-))

keep on the good work!

Joe from Germany

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@JoeHell67 Hi! AC/DC, one of the first ''metal'' bands i started listening to, around the age of 14. Cool i would love to see them live sometime, they have been to Denmark this year and last year, but i didn't get any tickets they were sold out instanly :-( Sure it counts haha :-D Thanks man i will! Btw i reviewed a German beer yesterday, it was the Kapuziner Weissbier. The review will probably be up tomorow, cheers!

[MDJarv]

Awesome fucking beer!! One of the best ever, quite frankly.

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@MDJarv It is very good indeed! Cheers!

[BeerGeekNation]

I really enjoy this beer as well. Easily the best chocolate stout on the market. I wish they just made it in 12oz bottles. Youll have to get a bottle of Pumking when its released.

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@BeerGeekNation Yeah that also what i thought! Oooh i hope i do, i have heard so many good things about it. But my beer store didn't carry it last year, so i don't know if they will get it this year, but i hope they do! Cheers!

[bigmike11676]

This is a pretty decent beer. Overall I'm not a big fan of Southern Tier. Their Pumking is probably my favorite beer from them.

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@bigmike11676 Oh ok, well we all have different palates. Cool, never had that one. Cheers!

[Chad9976]

I feel special since I got a sneak preview of this review the other day ;)

Definitely my all-time favorite dessert beer. The only problem is it's hard to drink an entire 22oz bomber alone, it's the kind of beer you want to share with a friend. It's so rich, it's like liquid fudge.

I'm adding this video to my favorites! Will you be doing a "best of 2010" video in December? This will probably be my #1 or 2.

I actually peeled the label off the bottle and put it on my car!

video response!

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@Chad9976 Oh yeah, haha :-D It is awsome. Yeah would be nice to get it in 12oz or something. Cool, im pretty sure i will, and i do have some beers in mind ;-) Cool, i belive Matt (Matts Beer Reviews) something like wise with ST beer labels. Sure! Cheers!

[qchome]

i have held my tongue on southern tier beers until today...gave my opinion on yuichitubas latest vid.

i respect your opinion a lot...but it is hard 4 me 2 believe that southern tier makes a beer as good as u just described.

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@qchome Well, southern tier makes both mediocre and good beers. The ones i have had that weren't from the ''Imperial'' series wasen't exceptional in any way. But alot of their ''Imperial'' ones are, i really liked this one. Cheers!

[FixedGear]

You are PUMPED about this one haha! Nice review, I may have to hunt for this one at my local spot.

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@FixedGear Sure was, it was excellent! Thanks, hope you find it! Cheers!

[Hogo69]

Mmm looks delicious... I've had the southerin tier jahva and it was absolutely delicious.

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@Hogo69 It was. I have heard good things about that one aswell! Cheers!
