Russo (731) - Campinas, BRAZIL - SEP 8, 2010
Bottled. Very dark color that start with a nice beige foam and keep a lacing until the finish. Aroma is roasted malty, coffee and pour chocolate, amazing! Flavor is pretty much the same with some bitterness.mouthfeel is endless.... lovely one!

mackus2 (20) - Edison, New Jersey, USA - SEP 6, 2010
500 ml bottle. Pours black with a creamy, two-finger tan head. Nose is malts and chocolate. Medium-light creamy body. Lots of chocolate in the taste and on the finish. Wasn’t expecting so much chocolate, I like it, but I could see it being a little much. The finish is a lot better than the taste, its just not very full.

Poured with small tan head that disapears quickly, some lacing. Browny black colour with not much light showing through. Strong aroma of chocolate. Burnt malt, dark bitter chocolate some hints of coffee with a creamy mouth feel. Great beer for dessert on a cold winters night!

GKillian (282) - Tucson, Arizona, USA - SEP 4, 2010
Pours dark with tan head and some lacing. Very strong chocolate aroma with a hint of alcohol; reminiscent of Bailey’s Irish Creme. Well balanced with a hint of bitter chocolate mixed in. Very smooth and creamy.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a shaker. Pours black with small beige head that dissapates quickly. Creamy mouthtaste, nice thin lacing, and chocolate aroma. Taste is rich burnt malt, chocolate, and hint of vanilla.

Zenwolf (114) - Waterloo, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 31, 2010
Bottle. Actually converted a Bud Light drinker with this thick and delectable brew. Rich roasted malts and strong bakers chocolate permeate the nose. Mouthfeel is lush and creamy.. like pudding. Rich dark chocolate and brown sugar. Subtle bitter coffee and chocolate in the finish.

LordKamina (1) - CHILE - AUG 25, 2010 does not count
Served from a 50cL bottle, had previously had it from a can the same size and was utterly unimpressed. This time around, it was a completely different beer. Poured a rich, thick black with a creamy and long-lived vanilla-colored head; truly superb. The aroma lets on plenty of chocolate, as well as a bit of coffee and butterscotch/caramel, with traces of smoke and hops. Upon tasting it, the chocolate/coffee are very distinct, without being all there is to this beer. There is also a nice bitterness at the end from the hops, it doesn’t feel alcoholic at all and it goes down incredibly easy, with a lasting impression on the palate. Overall, a top-notch stout I’ll definitely have again.
