I just picked up the Harpoon Wintry Mix today (I live in MA). My favorite beer of all time is the Young's Double Chocolate Stout. I thought this Harpoon beer had a more of a burnt chocolate taste, and that the malt was more of the beer's taste than chocolate. Too harsh burnt-malty than chocolate. Question: How would you recommend serving the beer temperature-wise. I wanna try the beer again to see my final thoughts. THX!

i agree this is more burnt and cofee like, than youngs and not as velvety, but i still thought it was fantastic and rich. ultimitly i still like youngs better (in the bottle), but i really enjoyed this a lot. i think i served mine around 42-48 degrees. or a little on the warm side. i hope yo have better luck next time.

I saw this today when I went beer shopping. I should have picked it up. I'm not real big on chocolate, but I don't dislike it either, and the chocolate beers I have had I wasn't impressed... but this looks like it could be the exception.

if your not big on chocolate beers, its hard to say if you would like it. but i would say if your going to like a chocoalte this is the chocolate to get. if you don't like this, then give up on chocolate beers.

thats what i'm saying great price for a great beer.

even for a 6 pack is a good deal (especially if it's as good as you say)

i hope you find it. i was shocked how chocolaty this is. i like it so much i got 2 more six packs.
