I have been so impressed with the Iron Maiden beers brewed in collaboration with Robinsons and their chocolate stout, Fear of the Dead, is no exception.
Now that's what a stout should look like! It pours a dark brown with a robust, thick and tight tan head. The aroma is quite light but I picked up notes of malt, treacle and chocolate.
There's nothing light about the flavour; it has a lovely taste of chocolate, treacle, malt and a hint of roasted nuts. It has a full body and medium carbonation that gives it a lovely smooth mouthfeel.
I love stout and I love chocolate so this one is a winner for me. It's not a heavy stout so it's very pleasant to drink and the chocolate is delicious. Ale Be Seeing You again!
4.5% ABV
