Why I tried this: I'm a big fan of stouts, what can I say? It was on draft, and I've heard nothing but good things about this beer.
Smell: Such a powerful smell. You get very strong chocolate notes that are balanced out by a bit of coffee and roasted malts. Almost wish I could eat this beer.
Taste: Creamy, malty, chocolaty goodness. You get such a nice mixture of flavors that pass over you as you drink it. It's so smooth. The malts in this beer are quite roasted, which give it a bit of a burnt impression, but that's where the chocolate kicks in to sweeten it up a bit. The flavor of this beer is just so rich.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give it an 9/10. Young's Double Chocolate Stout is definitely one of the better stouts I've had in a long time. It's smooth, it's thick, it's creamy, and it's incredible delicious. With a nice chocolate and coffee smell to complement, this beer really isn't missing anything. The only downside I can see is that it's not a beer you'll be able to drink more than a couple of in one night. Other than that...strongly recommended.
