I'm not sure about the idea that any stout shouldn't be served cold.It's highly unlikely, for instance, that you'd be served a Youngs Double Chocolate stout in a London pub that wasn't from a fridge, especially in a Youngs pub.
But, of course, it's all a matter of taste. I remember when Guinness launched Guinness Extra Cold in Irish pubs. It was so cold it hurt your sinuses going down and completely destroyed the taste of the stout.It didn't last long.
I like Guinness at room temp. But you're right about Youngs DCS. Although too cold and you can't taste it as I have found.
