Beer of the Week

The beer: Chocolate Stout

Brewed by: Guinness Open Gate Brewery, Halethorpe, Maryland

Description (from the bottle and the website): "Pure cacao was added post fermentation to give this beer bitter chocolate flavors to balance light, malty sweetness. ... Made with Columbian coffee from local roaster, Vent Coffee."

Would I buy it again?: Yes, two Guinness beers in a row. While the Yuengling Hershey Porter remains the ultimate chocolate beer, this is pretty good, and I would definitely buy it again next time I go to the Guinness brewery. Once again, dare I say it, but this may be better than the standard Guinness stout.
