Nice pour. Rocky head. Milk chocolate nose and taste. Light body and carbonation. Pretty mild overall for a stout. A good Valentine's Day quaff for the ladies. I prefer bigger and bolder. Stouts. Stouts! Not ladies. No offense now. Just a personal preference.

They print the scratch number on there with a typewriter. Somehow that makes me like it more. They are in such a rush to get this to me that Travis Troegs' wife has to type it out herself. But in reality it's an ok stout. Not very flavorful and kinda thin.

Solid beer. Drinking out of a massive wine glass that I was given on my wedding day by my wife's former boss. Would have been nice if he took five minutes to realize that my middle name begins with a G and my last name begins with a K. Good thing the other one he gave us broke already. Cheers

If the Weyerbacher, Voodoo, and Troegs were golfing together, the Weyerbacher pulled out a driver, swung from its heels and hit it 300 yards but was 20 feet in the deep rough. The Voodoo took its cigar out his mouth, placed it on the ground like a boss and cranked a driver. The Troegs grabbed a 5 iron and safely plopped it in the fairway, while the other two muttered "pussy" under their breath.

I know I can, I know I can I will try a serious review - this beer delivered a medium sized head which liberated a subtle chocolate/vanilla aroma. the alcohol is subtle and covered by the cocoa without it being overpowering, smooth feel in the middle, slightly bland finish

Hmm #262 - they have done 262 of these Scratch things? What a great marketing strategy. Call it Scratch, give it a number that is different than the last - whalla instant curiosity and demand. Overall, it wasn't a bad stout...in fact I would open another if I had it right now, but I don't want to go find it to stock. However, if I wait long enough i will really want #270 - what ever that will be just because of the anticipation.

While the flavor profile is unique and the taste on the back end rides a long time with the chocolate I have the same problem with this as I do with the Big Black Voodoo Daddy, it is very carbonated and thin. I like my stouts, well rarely, but I like them like I like my men dark, thick and tasty....sorry that is gross but hillarious.

So I'll try to follow the rules. I'll drink a week 1 beer in week 1. Except I knocked out an SMS before this. And. It the FOB SMS but a 17. Anyways, I have to ask why scratch beers are included. That depends on your goal. Throw in a beer or two that most haven't had, then I'm glad to have tried it. But they're never gonna by to win or place. Like Nimble Giant is the best Tröegs beer I've had, and it was the evolution of a number of scratch beers. One of which was in the case last year.

I like my stouts on the chocolate side and not killer alcohol so I can function afterward or at least drive home. This is excellent. Great with a chocolate brownie. No nuts though. I don't know why you would put nuts in a perfectly good chocolate brownie anyway. This is my winner of the 3 PA stouts I was given

After 3 1/2 hours of shoveling snow & getting paid time & 1/2 for 6, I think of a better way to relax then to sample an FOB brew. You make February it's own season. My second favorite season I might add. This beer would receive an 8 off the tap, But the bottle just is not the same today.

Generally a huge fan of Troegs - but also generally not a huge fan of putting chocolate (or coffee) in my beer. But I was excited to try this one... and with it coming from Hershey was anticipating a bit of a chocolate extravaganza in the stout. Not the case. Was pleasant but surprisingly mild. I suppose the advantage is that you can drink it when you aren't really in the mood for chocolate, or a stout, but that isn't really the point, now is it?

Talk about hitting the nail on the head... Troeg's is killin' it with this scratch series! Wicked pour into my LH Nitro glass. Solid pitch black (brown edging in light) with a tan creamy head. Kick ass aroma, but mostly flavor - some cocoa nibs/dark chocolate/vanilla. This is legit (make it a yearly seasonal!), poured at 37F, waiting for it to warm up, hoping to discover even more vanilla notes (yes, I did). Lacing is low, but there and constant throughout each sip. Mouthfeel is thin, which I expected more being 7.1%, but that makes it more drinkable. Overall, hell yeah! Job well done.

Agreeing with all the "thin" comments. Definitely not the texture I want in a stout. Nothing really stood out or made me excited about this beer. Just OK. Wouldn't turn it down but wouldn't' buy it either. This is also my philosophy on drugs just in case anyone was wondering????????

Not always a fan of these scratch series but this one really hit the spot. I don’t put stoudts in the fridge anymore, I put them in the basement next to the red wine. This way, it’s already warmed up. I really have come to believe that is the way it should be with stoudts. The flavor of the chocolate was quite fantastic to me. May it have been a bit too strong a flavor tone? Well, possibly. This was my third stoudt of the night this past Sunday and jeepers… I was pretty rocked. So maybe I’d like it less going solo. But man did I dig this one. As an aside, everyone at work Monday said the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl was amazing… I’m pretty sure I blacked out... but it was worth it for FOB and these delicious stoudts.

Cracking open the Troegs Scratch Chocolate Stout I was nervous… nervous like Somerset riding out into the fields with Mills and John Doe. I read the reviews and they were all over the place…my wife asked me honestly, have you ever seen something like this before, and no…no I hadn’t. So it was quite surprising to me when I took a sip and realized this wasn’t the equivalent of walking into a room of a man who ate himself until he burst. No, this beer was quite the opposite. It tasted nice. The subtle chocolate hint of chocolate didn’t overpower; it complimented. The booziness let its presence known, but not in an overpowering, John-Doe-just-saw-you-at-his-apartment-door way, but in more of a John-Doe-just-let-you-know-your-wife’s-head-is-in-the-box way. And in my book, that counts for something. Sure I was going to retire, but I can’t now. This case needs me.

I love a good stout, especially Guinness on tap almost anywhere in the EU. So, this beer was pretty good. If you have to put chocolate in there, it was OK. Just a little hint of it is OK.

Exactly what I expected. Caramely and smooth with not much of a finish. The Scratch Series generic label has allowed Troegs to put the value of experimentation firmly in their marketing strategy and cultivated an inquisitive drinker to test their batches. I remember some good scratch in my day. 9.0 for creating a generic label that floats all flavors.

Look. We live in a time where words matter. I saw some reviews that called this beer "thin." I was like, "thin"? What the fuck does that mean? Then I poured it as my first FOB 2017 beer. I let it warm a little. Then I drank it. You know what? It was thin. I think thin means that every time you take a nice sip and expect to be inundated with some smooth tastes of chocolate or whatever other magical shit you are expecting, you just feel a little let down. Took a great picture of it, though.

Cracked this beer while watching the USA Eagles play Uruguay on a cold Saturday afternoon. Trying my best to respect the "drink the FOB beer first" rule as I knew what the second half would lead to. And to be completely honest, I'd already consumed two Carlsbergs watching the 7:30AM Arsenal/Chelsea match. But that was over 6 hours ago - so I really think I'm legit. I really thought this beer would be in the bottom 6 of the case, but was pleasantly surprised. I mean - it is what it is - a chocolate stout. But I found it to be very smooth and with well rounded flavors. No sharp edges. Particularly at room temp which is the only way I can really taste these subtleties. Do I want a case? No. But did I enjoy this and would I order another? Sure. It's a 7.

To quote Jan from the pink ladies"it's a dessert wine" very chocolatey and malty but pretty good Was easy to drink and didn't get overly sweet

Paired deliciously with some thin mints. Subtle flavor but a decent stout

Not a big stout fan, but I do appreciate this. Pretty damn smooth, nice smoky finish. Doesn't linger long enough. Maybe it isn't supposed to. What do I know? Unrelated, but Gerald Henderson can really kill a rally

Troegs #262 Chocolate Stout Exactly what I expected. Caramely and smooth with not much of a finish. The Scratch Series generic label has allowed Troegs to put the value of experimentation firmly in their marketing strategy and cultivated an inquisitive drinker to test their batches. I remember some good scratch in my day. 9.0 for creating a generic label that floats all flavors. Conshihocken Type A IPA I like a lot of the Conshi brews. This one is solid. I think they have a particular unifying taste, maybe it's the water. Very excited about this magnificent case of beer. My main reviews will be about label designs, as I am currently designing for the competition. "Type A" 16 oz can is big, bold and consistent w others in the brand. Great use of exposed aluminum. The cheap plastic wrapper that Conshi uses should be illegal like plastic bags should. They render the can un-recyclable. Rating: 2 - for corporate irresponsibility. (The design is respectable however.)

I'm not the biggest fan of stouts but the hint of chocolate helped me enjoy it more. I'd say this is decent.

I really want to like troeg's. I remember trying my first nugget nectar at victory brewpub at citizens bank, opening day 2014. tasting the wonderful hop aroma by the outdoor gas fireplace, I thought this brewery had it going on. unfortunately if it doesn't say nugget nectar on the label its nothing special. Too much chocolate, too little complexity.

Nice chocolate flavor - not too sweet with notes of malt and coffee.

The Russian River damnation and the founders breakfast Stout from a few years ago single handedly changed my entire perspective on drinking stouts. Since then these have become my winter goto. Shit label, amazing beer. They must team up with Hershey on this. Fantastic Stout.

Troeg's Chocolate Stout
My first ever FOB beer. Fairly straightforward here. Bittersweet chocolate. This reminds me of my annual trip to the Hershey lodge. Everything there has a cocoa backbone. Cocoa soap, cocoa shampoo, cocoa coffee. Late night wandering the labyrinth hotel, trying to find the Reeces pieces wing. Or am I staying in the Hershey kisses wing this year? Either way, it's chocolate. Wholesome, and wholly PA.

Chocolate is super subtle at first, but comes out more as it warms up. the hoppy bitterness almost tastes like coffee. I learned something today… I don’t like hops in my stouts.

Feels thin. Almost a watered down whiskey taste. The chocolate definitely does't shine through. Not a terrible beer, but nothing stupendous, leaves a great aftertaste. Drinkable, especially while enjoying Phil Collins. I respect it, but I don't endorse it.

This stout is good. Definite chocholate and coffee like flavor, but a little sweet. Kind of a thin feel. Noticable hops and a dry finish.

This really works. Not dominated by any single attribute. Not a "meh" by any means. And that's after 10 beers at Lee's! FOB is a pleasure. Thanks for another great year Phil!

Honestly, a bit too light for a chocolate stout. It has a good smell and good initial taste but that quickly disappears with the light consistency of the beer. It doesn't have the thickness that I crave in a stout.

Every sign up for a 28 day challenge? Maybe even 2 contradicting 28 day challenges...maybe one was motivated by the pull of Domican weather in the clutches of winter but you dont want to feel like a bloated piece of milk-toast...Or one is motivated by your love of beer and the lure of 24 amazing beers in 28 days? Fitness and FOB go together like current wife and ex-wife! You know you are a FOB rookie when when you sign up for both! I signed up for the Weyerbacher Sunday Morning and the Troegs Scratch Series Chocolate Stout in one night and like 28 day challenges... ones comes out on top and the ither looks like a bitch attempt at a beer. Scratch lost this battle like memtrying tomride with Media in May. Not even close!

Being born and raised in Hershey, it pains me to give any Troegs product such a mediocre score. Unfortunately this stout just tastes like watered down hot chocolate that has been left on the counter after a long day of sledding with the kids. My wife suggested I add some mini marshmallows. I may give that a try...it couldn't hurt.

My first FOB beer/review!!! so glad to be here. Smooth to drink, little to know bitterness, which is missed. Nice chocolate aftertaste, but too sweet for my taste. Would not pass up in the future, but there would be many beers in front of it.

As the saying goes...everything tastes better after a beer. Apparently, this holds true for Troeg's Chocolate Stout as well. A few weeks ago, I found a good beer hidden in a cooler full of Blue Moon. I had already had 2 Guiness, and the Troeg's chocolate stout went down like chocolate milk. After posting a picture on instagram and finding out it was going to be in the case, I was thrilled! While I still enjoyed this brew with a clear head, it was not nearly as enjoyable on its own. If you get the chance...I highly recommend enjoying a Guinness or two before imbibing in this stout.

Remember that chocolate river from the Willy Wonka movies? The one with the creepy child molester. Or the other one with the creepy child molester. That what this beer was like. I was quite excited to drink it – it looked and smelled great – and then I realized after a sip that it was brown colored yuck some brewer or some Oompa Loompa peed in. That’s why it’s a one-off “scratch” beer!
