Hockley Valley Brewing Co. is proud to present, Hockley Stout is our brewer’s take on a classic Irish stout. Roasted malts, a slight acidity and hints of bitter chocolate are just some of the essence hiding in the inky darkness topped by a thick tan head. Deceptively light, this former seasonal beer has now become a regular part of our lineup due to customer demand. Try it today and taste liquid midnight.

[1] Review by lenusik from Toronto, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (8/18/2008 1:44:37 AM)
"I've had this beer recommended to me by several friends as a very good stout, so I broke down and decided it was time to try it. The beer is a very dark brown colour with a thin brown head. The aroma is coffee, roasted malts, and some plum. The taste is more coffee, but not as bitter as some other stouts."

[2] Review by Skanadian from Hamilton/Peterborough, Ontario, Canada who has tried this beer once. (7/31/2008 2:48:56 PM)
"Nice dark brown colour with some brown cap and red highlights. Typical stout aroma - coffee, chocolate and some malts. Thick mouthfeel but thins out smoothly. Flavour is average, lacking and sorta uninspired. It takes top spot for being an average stout, but nothing more."

"473ml can
4.2% ABV
I tried this beer on May 28, 2008 after purchasing from one of my local LCBO outlets. The beer poured a molasses black colour with a light brown head that quicklt disappeared. The aroma was rather weak with some roasted malt hints, and some sour smells. The mouthfeel was thin to medium bodied, with medium carbonation. The flavour was roasted malt with coffee and chocolate tones."

[4] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (3/28/2008 3:44:15 PM)
"Can: Poured a deep black color ale with a small dirty brown foamy head with minimal retention and no lacing. Aroma of black chocolate with light dry bitter coffee notes. Taste is also dominated by some light bitter coffee notes with some nice black chocolate notes. Body is a bit thin for the style with some medium carbonation. This beer was enjoyable and refreshing and well done for the style."

[5] Review by Chopz from Cantley, Canada who has tried this beer once. (3/2/2008 10:30:54 PM)
"This Irish stout pours a real dark brown colour with slight red highlights. Its head is beige-brown and has a decent size, with very good retention. First aromas are of coffee and chocolat, and after breathing, the hops sticks out. The mouthfeel is a bit thicker than normal beers, but does not stick, which make this brew a refreshing one. The taste seems a bit watered down, with notes of chocolat and coffee, but not really sweet, and not too bitter. The roasted malt is present. Not bad at all, just lacking character."
