Beer - #457 - Young's - Double Chocolate Stout

I find myself in a track of a type of beer, Stout. This time as a gift from my daughter, this one a  Young's  Double Chocolate Stout.

Check out her ramblings at The Polly Jar if you've a mind too, she's just started and might like a bump in visitor numbers.

Surprisingly  it's brewed by Wells & Youngs in the style that is a  Stout and they are in Bedford, England

A 500ml bottle that contains a 5.2% ABV beer, that has 156 calories a serving, this works out as 2.2 standard rink units in NZ.

Chocolate malt and real dark chocolate are combined with Young's award winning rich,

full flavoured dark beer to craft a satisfyingly indulgent, but never overly sweet experience.

Luxurious and at the same time with a hint of decadence, Young’s Double Chocolate Stout has it all, delivering a satisfying, indulgent taste without ever becoming overly sweet.

Pale Ale and Crystal malt, Chocolate Malt, a special blend of sugars, Fuggle and Golding hops, real dark chocolate and chocolate essence are combined to deliver a stout of with real credentials.

I remember as buying some of this years a go as a christmas present, based only on it being "chocolate beer", from which point it's remained an annual staple in the black Russian invention at the christmas day beach party.
