Young's Double Chocolate Stout

So I bought it on a whim, having loved the chocolate oak-aged Yeti, and this is definitely its equal. Chocolatey, dark, sweet... absolutely wonderful beer, that even a few of my friends who don't like beer seem to like.

Anybody else tried this magnificent drink?

FUCK YES (although I've only had the cans)

Yeah, it's great. I think it contributed greatly to a 20 lbs weight gain in 2006, though.

i hate it. that's something about it which is appealing and looking at that pic makes me want to try it again, but i'm pretty sure i hate it.

delicious. much better on draft imo

Dragon's Milk imo..

definitely more expensive

I've had it and it's good

I've seen it about but never fancied trying it.

I'll check it out next time I see it. They've just started doing Doom Bar in my local little Tesco so it's got some hefty opposition.

also try - southern tier and rogue chocolat, coffee and other stouts for a chocolatey stout party!

YES

Yes, I would like to voice my support for Young's Double Chocolate Stout. I buy this pretty much anytime I'm walking through a liquor store and notice it.

I think the one Im thinking of is "Unearthly" Ale?

this guy!

lol that glass is perfect for that beer...feels like an old malt shop from the 1950s.

Had some of this the other day, a bit different but quite good stuff...

Also always been a fan of this stuff, nice chocolatey flavor:

Ghosty try the 25th anniversary Vanilla Doubledog if you can find it. It's the Turbodog kicked up and racked onto vanilla beans. Super good man

that sounds really good.

That sounds delicious, I may have to get over to the specialty beer shop around here and pick some of that up after Xmas

had that a few weekends ago, super good is right. pretty damn inexpensive too.

this one is killer as well:

I just picked up some of that Dragon's Milk... had to go to four shops to finally find it. Also grabbed some Founder's Breakfast Stout (which is strange, but quite good), some Samuel Smith's oatmeal stout, and another Young's Double Chocolate.

Sadly, the place that used to carry the chocolate oak-aged yeti stopped selling it, unless I want to order a whole case.

That founders you mentioned is my favorite beer, hands down. Strange how?
