Got stuck behind a train crossing today...

... and I happened to be a few feet away from the entrance to the parking lot where Beers of the World is.

So rather than sit and waste gas, I figured I'd take advantage of the stop and try a new beer or two. So I've got a bottle of a chocolate stout from a company I've never heard of in front of me. Fort Collins Brewery Chocolate Stout. They also make a double chocolate stout, which is why I don't have a picture to link to here. Those were the only pictures I could find with a google search. :P Its been in the fridge since this afternoon, so I'm going to pop it open before I go to bed tonight.

It has a VERY pleasant scent. Mild beer scent with strong chocolate overtones. First few sips, it seems to be one of the smoothest beers I've had in quite some time. Fairly mild flavor, but hoppy aftertaste. The chocolate smell combined with the hoppy aftertaste makes for a very interesting drink. I think I may buy this one again.
