Witty - I think the name chocolate stout makes it sound like something more than it is though... like they're about to corrupt a good stout by adding a bunch of hershey's syrup or some shit.
stouts are my favorite beer because, i wish i could think of a better way to say this, but i love its 'body' lol
I'd prefer a normal stout vs. others if i had to choose one for the rest of my life, but as much of a lover of guiness as i am, other stouts help to break out that kinda 'monotonous' flavor you can fall into at times with regular stouts
they're normally pretty subtle, almost more aroma than taste imo... and though it's probably the most blasphemous version to a strictly-stout drinker, I'm a big fan of milk stouts for that pinch of sweetness they provide to a beer which is typically pretty bitter (though i like the bitterness too).
hailing from guinnessland though, you may not like any deviation from the norm tbh; but in general, most people that like regular stouts would probably dig a chocolate one now and again.
