it was out of some "nitro" can that had a ball inside of it that was some sort of pressurizer. never had a beer can or any type of can like it, but having a stout in a can seems weird to begin with. i thought it was honestly too light tasting from the can, almost a little watery, so maybe it's better out of a bottle or a tap. still was really good and drinkable, and even in a plastic cup it retained a great head down to the last sip. the chocolate taste wasn't strong either, more like chocolate milk rather than a really sweet or dark chocolate. i will buy it again soon since it's available around some liquor stores in town

Yeah Guinness has it, Kilkenny too I think. It's been years since I had either one. These canned ones are always a bit iffy and I'm not sure how the conditioning works in one as opposed to bottle conditioning. This is just me being silly of course.
Only had the Young's once a few years ago, from a bottle. It was quite overly sweet at the time, as if chocolate milk had been added. Their ipa is very good though. |

| Probert, you might want to give Brooklyn dark chocolatw stout a go. In no way overly sweet, more on espresso and dry, dark chocolate and quite decently hoppy + bitter. |

unfortunately i gave up alcohol about a year ago. just cant do it anymore.
the chocolate stout i tried was actually TOO bitter.. and i love bitter beer. the baker's chocolate i was referring to is unsweetened chocolate which is excessively bitter in a very bad way.

| I like chocolate and milk stouts. Best milk stout is Abbotsford, cheap and nice. For chocolate, can't go past Youngs. Poverty beer at the moment, the 'new' 'old' VB. |

Every stout I've had in a can was depressing. May as well be drinking water.

the little ball (called a widget) is actually there to release nitrogen to displace the carbon dioxide which gives the beer a much more smoother and less carbonated taste. It's also why they usually pour such thick and lasting heads. They've actually invented new technology where they don't even need to put the widget in bottles anymore to get the same effect.
Young's double chocolate stout is a favorite of mine, but it is a very in your face chocolate flavor, at least compared to a number of other "chocolate" beers out there. Like a lot of beers though, it's almost an entirely different experience drinking from a tap as opposed to bottle or can pour.
Got a six pack of Great Lakes Christmas ale and Revolution Eugene Porter the other day. Excited to crack a few later on tonight. |
