Unleashing my darker side with this review. The brew for today is by Flying Monkey brewery, called Chocolate Manifesto. The barnding is my favourite seeming quite cluttered and messy.
Details
Name: The Chocolate Manifesto
Brewery: The FlyingMonkeys (Barrie, Canada)
Style: Imperial Stout
Price: $11.95 CAD
ABV: 10%
Commercial Fluff:
"Opaque espresso-brown with a thick, caramel coloured head; rich aromatic notes of hot fudge sundae, cherry cordial, chocolate mousse and freshly ground coffee beans; on the palate it is full bodied and rich, with mild carbonation and dense, sweet chocolate and bitter mocha flavours."
Own Opinion
Sight: Dark Brown Chocolate colour. Just from the look of this I know it's good!
Aroma: Chocolate straight away, followed by vanilla and a slight roasted aroma.
Taste: Chocolate milkshake! Pure Win!! Can taste the chocolate which gives a milky mouth feel, followed by a slight alcoholic burn.
Would I buy it again? Yes....Yes....YES!
This is my exact type of beer style I enjoy. I rarely drink more than a pint or two these days. So when I sit down to have a beer, I like to feel treated and this beer does exactly that. It's filling and warming and seems a little bit special. It comes in a large bottle so perfect for sharing with friends or even baking with it! Go buy some. But you'll have to beat me to it first if you can.
