| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 14, 2010 Strong, rich aroma is of quality roast coffee with a firm overtone of sweet chocolate - tres tempting. It pours a semi-opaque Coca-Cola brown with a fairly thick beige head. Flavor is like a fine mocha, roast coffee and chocolate, slightly sweet, with a surprising and pleasant bitter hoppy undertone. Texture is tingly and smooth, very pleasant going down the hatch. asheft (1643), Marburg, Germany

Toasty and molasses bread crust aroma with accents of vanilla and oak. Clear, deep, dark garnet under a flannel blanket of tan. Sweet bread crust malt up front that develops into vanilla and chocolate. Nice and toasty with a healthy dose of dark malt bitterness. Medium body, moderate carbonation, sweet and bitter chocolate finish. jimmay (303), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 17, 2010 Aroma is light roasted malt, coffee with a hint of sweet malt. Drinking this beer reminds me of my childhood. I gotup on Saturday mornings to watch cartoons and would make a huge glass of chocolate milk. I would try and sip it to make it last but I never could. Same thing happened. Smooth, smooth, smooth with a nice "full" roasted malt yet slightly coffee flavor. Finishes equally as smooth with just the right bitter and no after taste. This is as good as beer gets. Vaiz (482), Den Haag, Netherlands

Delicate aroma of spices, caramel and licorice. Bitter spicy flavor, with licorice and clove. Very clean brew. Spicy bitter finish. Nice. eManu (283), Brussels, Belgium
