This is an online video review done by Michael Lam of the Beverage Review. I don't have the technology or the know-how to do anything this cool. Listen to his review first, then check out my feelings on the stout below.
Lam really emphasized the chocolate flavor. I didn't notice the chocolately flavor quite as much. Of course it was there, but I found the roasted dark fruity smells to be much more evident. Maybe I had my Brooklyn chocolate at a temperature that was too warm, which would cause a difference in the kind of flavors that stand out.
The alcohol taste snuck through at the end for me. Lam suggest on the video info that the range of flavors largely covered masked the high alcohol content (10%). Again, a difference in the temperature of the brew would change this aspect.
Lam ended up giving Brooklyn Chocolate a 93-95 on his scale of 100. I think that is overrating an otherwise average chocolate stout. I'd place the beer somewhere in the 85-88 range.
