Ok - we have never kept it a secret that of all the types of beers out there, Hops the Moose has always preferred a good stout over all others - doesnt matter the time of year - give me a good stout anytime.  And as luck would have it - we have found what could be our new favorite stout.  Penn Brewing Company - Chocolate Melt Down - chocolate stout. 

A very smooth drinking beer with a very nice aroma when you first open the bottle - from the start of opening and pouring the beer into a glass - your nose gets that sweet chocolate smell in the air.  The taste is even better - a rich and creamy smooth stout with a rich chocolate taste - almost as if you are not drinking beer. 

With Valentie's Day quickly approaching - if your significant other is a chocolate lover - find a way to get hold of Penn Brewing Company Chocolate Melt Down - a melted Chocolate bar in a glass of beer - chocolate with a kick.
