Beer and chocolate? These two things don’t really go together, do they? Beer and crisps, yes, but surely not chocolate? Hmmm. Very odd. The first time I ever heard of this strange concoction was here on dooyoo, over a year ago. Some chap had written and op about it and I can distinctly remember thinking that it sounded thoroughly revolting. Little did I know that I’d one day be sharing a bottle of it with the author of that original op. Funnily enough, my comment on that op was one of the very first encounters I had with the man who now shares my bed, the washing-up and my PC (damn his Mac not working), as well as the odd bottle of beer. I ... Read the complete review

Think of that perfect combination of beer AND chocolate and you have Young’s Luxury Double Chocolate Stout. As a long standing chocoholic AND beeraholic this was my dream come true. I HAD to sample these delights so I purchased a couple of bottles, for my husband and I (I hate to drink alone), and trundled merrily off home to give my taste-buds a treat. I was itching to enjoy that taste of promised luxury! Produced at Young’s Brewery in Wandsworth, it is a really dark ruby stout with a creamy bubbly head. Double Chocolate Stout is made from pale malt, chocolate malt, crystal malt, roasted barley, sugar and Goldings and Fuggles hops. They even add ... Read the complete review

Can we dedicate ops? Nobody knows. I don't care then and will totter blithely over convention and trample it into the earth with my sensibly clad size 9s. Step forward jillmurphy, this one's for you. jillmurphy, lower case dooyoo giant, doyenne of the childrens book review, giver of sound advice, answerer of e-mails but most of all, legendary lover. Eh? Damn! Legendary lover of all things chocolatey. (Sorry, I still haven't got the new iMac keyboard yet). You'll enjoy this one, jill. It's got it in. And you can taste it. You can. Hang on though, this isn't running true to form. I had a go at Young's Waggledance because ... Read the complete review

When I first saw this on the shelves in Tesco's I thought that the double chocolate brand was to do with the colour or the brew.When I realised it actualy had chocolate in it I had to have a bottle just to see how horrible it would be. Imagine my surprise when I found myself actually enjoying it. The chocolate flavour comes out slightly as an after taste but it is very pleasent. My overall opinion of it was a very nice drink to have with a meal perhaps. But you would not want to drink it all evening Youngs is a very old family brewery in Wandsworth South London. They brew some exremley good and very strong ales. They still own a good many local pubs and still use ... Read the complete review

I looked at the label and thought how horrible it would taste, but for a laugh i bought it just to see what it would taste like. Expecting it to disgusting i was quite suprised when it was really nice. The chocolate aroma is quite distinctive but not enough to take away the beer taste, you need to concentrate to taste the chocolate but once you do it makes you think how strangely nice it is. You wouldn't think that chocolate in beer would taste nice, alot wouldn't, but this beer really brings out the quality of chocolate in beer (laugh). Anyway try this beer and i'm sure you will like it, for all you alcohol lovers and chocolate lovers alike it's a ... Read the complete review
