Draft. Brown with full tan head that lasted throughout. Aroma of chocolate dominates. Taste is sweet but not too sweet, very good flavor. Not as chocolatey tasting as others but that is good with me. Finish is balanced with sweet and hops. Full body, smooth, and flavorful. Overall very good on tap.

Nice black pour with a finger height of head. Has a slight scent of chocolate and coffee. Flavor is a nice smooth chocolate, similar to a malt. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

eusou9 (11) - - FEB 11, 2012

Lightly malty, and a heavy chocolate aroma that gets more perceptive after it gets a little warmer. Creamy light brown average head that last quite much, and dont disappear completely. Its a very dark brown beer, but no visivle particles in its body. Taste is very sweet and small bittery in the beggining, and stays sweet until the end (bitter goes off) on a average duration. Has a medium body, but kind of watery taste. Flat carbonation and no particular finishing.

quiznoaz (144) - Arizona, USA - FEB 10, 2012

Draft, black pour with perfect, smooth, long last head, just how I like it. Chalky, creamy sweetness (not too sweet fortunately), not as big as some stouts, but very smooth. A ice substitute for nice cream (which is what the rest of the family had instead).

annunz123 (212) - Taunton, Massachusetts, USA - FEB 10, 2012

Malt and chocolate in the aroma. More chocolate in the flavor, but aside from that this tastes pretty bland and is somewhat watery. Not bad, but not as good as I expected given the rating.

gizmo_ber (9) - - FEB 8, 2012 does not count

Needs to be only slightly chilled to enjoy, as straight out of the refrigerator kept it bitter and withheld the aroma. With a little time to take some of the chill off it has a great flavor and finish, as well as some of the aroma being able to come through. Still wish it had a more chocolate flavor for something called double chocolate, but a very good stout.

dalfaro86 (74) - Atizapan, MEXICO - FEB 8, 2012

Cerveza que debe su nombre al hecho que es producida tanto con Malta Chocolate, como con Chocolate. Estilo Stout, Subestilo SweetStout, buena cerveza, sobre todo si gustas de la cervezas bien balanceadas entre dulce y amargo. Al igual que en la mayoria de las Stouts, el aroma tiene notas de cafe, malta tostada y chocolate, con la diferencia que en este caso, el aroma es mas dulce, en el sabor se nota la adicion de chocolate, gran cerveza para acompañar postres.

Padilha (64) - BRAZIL - FEB 4, 2012

Uma boa cerveja, porém o chocolate não é tão notável assim, predominando muito mais um gosto de café do que chocolate, além de amargura lupulada que disfarça o sabor o que, para mim, encobre a possível doçura do chocolate.
