The Fort Collins Brewery’s Double Chocolate Stout

Stouts are somewhat of a mixed bag for me. Especially chocolate stouts. There are some that are like drinking motor oil, while others almost taste flat and bland to me. The Double Chocolate Stout from the Fort Collins Brewery (Fort Collins, CO) is what I think of when I am in the mood for a stout. 
Virtually impossible to see through, this stout is everything I could hope for. A dark tan head, malty aroma, coffee undertones and a smooth taste make this my ideal stout. While other beer review sites rate this lower, I think it deserved better. I would definitely buy this bomber again. If I can get up to Fort Collins here soon, I would like to taste the nitro version of this beer. I cannot imagine it getting much smoother.
I really like the Fort Collins Brewery. They are delivering drinkable beers that have great character and taste. I’m looking forward to getting my hands on their new Brewer’s Lunchbox. It’s a mixed 12-pack of their most popular brews. I can only wish they would throw a Double Chocolate Stout in there.

I recently visited the tasting room at the FCB and got to try the Double Chocolate Stout on tap with a nitro infusion. This was good beer! I enjoyed it much more than their regular Chocolate Stout - the double was simply far better. My favorites of the sampling session was the Major Tom’s Pomegranate Wheat, their soon to be released Summer Fling ale and the Double Chocolate Stout. Worth the trip to Fort Collins to try em. (I work in Fort Collins and tend to visit the local tasting rooms when I can).
I’m jealous. The nitro version had to be interesting too! I already thought it was pretty smooth.
