Rogue Chocolate Stout - DM's Montreal Beer Reviews [Ep.5 {6}]

This stout from Rogue will be able to satisfy your chocolate craving!

This beer was provided by Chad (Chad9976).

Grading Scale for Season 6 [Overall Grade]:

1: UNDRINKABLE (this is a theoretical grade that is unlikely to ever be given out)

2: HORRIBLE beer. Should be avoided at all costs. Poorly brewed, a hassle to drink, and extremely enjoyable.

3: BLAND, weak flavours; a beer that probably does not deserve to be classified as the style it claims to be.

4: BELOW AVERAGE; some flavours; drinkable, but not very enjoyable. Might be too light-bodied and watery (unless it is an attribute of the style). Should not be picked when better alternatives are available.

5: SLIGHTLY BELOW AVERAGE. Not bad, but not very impressive either. Will generally have some major turn-off. There are better alternatives out there.

6: AVERAGE, decent beer. Can give an inexperienced drinker an idea of what this style of beer is about. Could be a decent "gateway" beer.

7: ABOVE AVERAGE, pretty good beer; lacks a few aspects still. Might be very good in some aspects, but unbalanced or lacking on other. Recommended.

8: VERY GOOD beer; solid performer for its style; a "go-to" beer. Nothing too special about it, though. Recommended!

9: EXCELLENT, better than many other beers in its style; only a small step from being perfect. Highly Recommended!

10: Amazing, Brilliant, OUTSTANDING! A perfect example of the style! Could also be my favourite beer from its style. Must try, if possible!

Stick to Good Beer!

Damn are you even old enough to drink? LOL

[DenisLD]

@fatsachs Yes, old enough to drink and old enough to think.

@DenisLD Tried the double chocolate yet? If you think the regular Rogue chocolate is bad ass you aint seen nothin' yet! Picture an excellent chocolate stout brewed with hershey syrup as the malt! It is something to behold and ridiculously delicious! I only make black and tans with it cause it's such a monstrous chocolate stout. It makes unreal black and tans, I've been getting it on growler for the past two weeks and whipin it together with Dogfish 90 min. MMMmmmm MMMM! 

[DenisLD]

@fatsachs Mm, that does sound delicious! I haven't gotten a chance to try the Double Chocolate yet, but I'll get it if I ever see it.

Don't they use some imported kind of chocolate for it, though? Hershey just doesn't sound very appealing to me, sorry. +P

Great review! I liked this one alot, but i was slightly dissapointed acutually. Im going to be reviewing the Southern Tier Choklat, which is hear is awsome! The Youngs Double Chocolate is also really good, especially from tap. Btw are you going to be traveling around Europe the summer? Cheers!

[DenisLD]

@TheMasterOfHoppets Ironically, they've just started selling Young's Double Chocolate here in Montreal... I'll defo try to get the Choklat someday as well. I won't be travelling around per se, for I'm just going to Russia for 2 months. But I'm also going to Ukraine and will probably spend a day in Amsterdam on my way back.

[fatsachs]

@DenisLD Yeah I'm sure it's gourmet chocolate malts and such, the first thing that comes to mind though when you have the first drink is chocolate syrup. It's very rich and very chocolatey but definitely tastier and superior to hersheys.

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@DenisLD Cool. Oh okay, could have been fun to meet up and have some beer :-)

@TheHammer609 I agree with you on the price. They are way overpriced for what you are getting. There are a ton of beers for each style that Rogue makes that are cheaper and of better quality. Although I do love me a Dead Guy Ale every once in a while. But their XS series beers are way over priced and I love that they now make a 7oz version of them, what a ripoff.

[BeerGeekNation]

Im not a huge fan of this beer. There are many many better representations of the chocolate stout. Choklat from Southern Tier sets the bar but Youngs 2x is very good from the tap! Nice review. I was going to review this one but just ended up drinking it one night...oh well
