Description:
After our successful collaboration with Scharffen Berger Chocolate last year with Scratch #27, we decided to revisit the chocolate stout. Pouring an invitingly creamy mocha head, Scratch #41 features a dark chocolate and roasted malt aroma. The taste follows suit with an initial blast of bittersweet chocolate and a rich finish.

Appearance - 4.0
Pours a 1/2" of mocha colored head. It recedes fairly quickly leaving small amounts of lace. The beer is a very dark brown, nearly black.
Aroma - 4.5
The aroma is very nice, it has a good amount or roasted malts paired with cocoa and hints of vanilla.
Mouthfeel - 4.0
Medium in body with medium carbonation and a little bit of creaminess.
Taste - 4.5
Cocoa and vanilla flavors present themselves first, followed up by citrus notes. The roasty flavors kick in before the citrus makes itself too apparent and then there is a little bit of cocoa and bitterness in the finish.
Overall - 4.5
Another very well made stout by Troegs. I loved Scratch #27, so I was excited to see them working on a similar recipe. The scratch beers can be hit and miss, but this one is a hit for sure.
