Great Beer: Young's Double Chocolate Stout


I am drinking a wonderful beer tonight - Young's Luxury Double Chocolate Stout. The double refers to Chocolate Malt and dark chocolate. Both work together to give this beer a creamy chocolate taste that is pronounced yet not too sweet.

This brew comes in at 5.2% alcohol by volume, and I have found it in 12 or 16 oz cans and 16.9 oz bottles. Young's is brewed by the Young & Co's Brewery PLC, The Ram Brewery in Wandsworth London.

I recently attempted a clone of this beer using Ghiardelli Premium Unsweetened Baking Cocoa, but it doesn't even come close to the chocolate aroma and taste present in this outstanding beer. I did like mine enough to enter it in the 2006 Colorado State Fair Homebrew competition, so we will see what the judges think tomorrow.
