Started the Labor Day celebration pairing a Great Divide Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout with a Viaje Satori.

Great brew and considered putting it in the kegorator. But after sampling a bomber, a bomber is enough. HEAVY! Dug the cayenne pepper hints.

Good beer. 🍺

That looks like a great combo right there!

Is Chocolate beer really that good? Every time I hear about a chocolate beer or a pumpkin beer I just can't imagine it tasting that good... I guess I'm a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to beer, lagers, etc.

I had my doubts too but like / enjoy a chocolate stout every now and then. Young's Double Chocolate, Heretic Hazelnut Chocolate and Samuel Smith Organic Chocolate Stouts have been the ones I've tried and have repeatedly bought.

^ Youngs and Smiths are chemically tasting.....

I like stout's a lot, and find that the chocolate stouts have a creamyness to them, that makes them superb.

My favorite is the Southern Tier Chokalat, but have been drinking a lot of the fort collins chocolate stout recently as it is a little easier to find.

A local brewery has a porter that is creamy and although not super chocolaty it does have some chocolate undertones. I like mixing half of it with half of their Java Porter and getting a creamy chocolate coffee flavor. Its really good but I cant typically do more than one of them before switching to something else.

Damn, I need to find a Southern Tier Chokalat! Love their beer and I do enjoy Chocolate beer in general.
