Troegs Releases Scratch # 172 - Chocolate Stout

scratch
From Troegs:

One of the most eternal yet simple Valentine’s Day presents is a good old fashioned box of chocolates. For Scratch #172, we’ve liquefied this traditional gift into a sweet, velvety Chocolate Stout. Brewed with chocolate malt and roasted barley, we also added oats for a silky texture as well as lactose and dark chocolate to sweeten the pot. To balance the sweetness, we used a variety of American hops to introduce a touch of citrus and pine as well as subtle spicy, earthy bitterness. Finally, we conditioned the finished beer on cacao nibs and vanilla for a week, giving this stout a luxurious body and rich, decadent finish. Scratch #172 is sure to entice you and your sweetheart to visit our Tasting Room and share this delectable treat. ABV is 5.8% and IBU is 32. Availability: draft and growler fills only.
