(Seattle, WA) – Merchant du Vin and Samuel Smith’s Brewery are proud to announce Samuel Smith’s Organic Chocolate Stout, a peerless blend of dark roasted malt and chocolate. It will be available fall 2012 coast-to-coast in 18.7 oz. (550 ml) bottles and in four-packs of 12 oz. bottles.
Roasted barley and chocolate are beautifully melded together in this delicious stout: it’s a deep, rich, aromatic, and satisfying ale with full body and fruity notes from the Sam Smith’s yeast strain supporting lush chocolate aroma and flavour. Organic Chocolate Stout is fermented in open- topped stone vessels, slate “Yorkshire Squares.” It’s USDA Certified Organic by the UK Soil Association and – like all Smith beers – it is Registered Vegan.
