Ommegang Chocolate Indulgence
Belgian Chocolate Stout
The scent of dark chocolate/bitter chocolate/cocoa is quickly evident and very pleasant. The first taste reveals a deep dark bitter chocolate flavor that works beautifully with the malty tones. Dried fruit flavors linger in the background and contribute to a wonderful depth of flavor. Slightly muting the other flavors, but, the dried fruit flavors add a rich complexity that is very enjoyable. And, this complexity adds to the ease of drinking. I could easily drink a glass with no fear of tiring of the flavors. This chocolate stout will have an incredibly wide range of food pairing options and a number of uses in sweet and savory food preparations.
I still prefer the lovely burnt caramel tones of Brooklyn Brewery’s chocolate stout and the dry bitterness of Rogue’s chocolate stout. But, I will add this to my list of favorites.
