Young’s Double Chocolate Stout Beer Review
Well, recently, when I made my New Year’s Seafood Gumbo, I tried a few new beers while I was cooking my roux. My new favorite beer, hands down for the moment, is Young’s Double Chocolate Stout. When I say it tastes like chocolate, I’m not kidding in the least. It tastes like a sweet chocolate bar, without being sweet, if that makes any sense at all. I believe it was 5.2% alcohol, and it is made with powdered dark...
