WOW!! This Cocoa Morello stout from Edinburgh brewers Pilot is simply awesome. It's such a shame it was only in a 330ml can as I could've drank this all day, although with a mighty 7.1% ABV I might've been a bit sozzled.
It's a deliciously dark stout with a loose, frothy beige head that dissipates to a patchy layer. The aroma is amazing: chocolate, vanilla and tarty cherries create a sweet and sour smell that had my mouth watering. My first sip did not disappoint as I drifted off to beer heaven with the flavour of tart cherries dipped in sweet chocolate on my tongue. It's well carbonated with bubbles that are robust but not too harsh and it has a full, almost syrupy body that clings to the glass.
I really can't fault this stout and it scored full marks across the board. It's something a little bit different that works surprisingly well. The overall flavour is perfect: it's not too sweet and not too sour. The chocolate flavour is more sweet than bitter and it blends beautifully with the slight sourness of the cherries. Absolutely AWESOME and without a doubt Ale Be Seeing You again!
