Pours deep dark brown, almost black with a good tan head. The aroma is of chocolate, vanilla and a touch of bourbon. Tastes very chocolaty and bitter with a smoky finish. A damn tasty beer.

Mar 19, 2010 Pours opaque black with off brown/tan head that retains well.
Nose has a nougat-chocolate character that is very enticing.
On the palate the roasted malts, multi-chocolate flavours dominate, and hops are noticeable in the background to keep things from getting out of hand.
One of the most drinkable chocolate stouts I’ve ever had.
The chocolate components are truly some of the best around.

Mar 15, 2010 Bottle.
A - Dark mahogany, close to black color. Thick, creamy beige head. Decent retention with a good amount of lacing left.
S - Earthy dark chocolate dominates the nose. A bit of a grain and bread smell.
T - Good amount of roasted malts and oats. Dark bread and grain taste taste upfront first. Then loads of dark and milk chocolate that gives a bitter and some sweet taste. A little bit of a cherry flavor. Decent amount of hops giving a slight citrus taste. Starts off somewhat sweet and progresses to finish somewhat bitter.
M - Medium body with good carbonation. Pretty smooth and creamy but it is a little thinner than what I was expecting.
D - Pretty good. Not too sweet or bitter. Lots of chocolate, but it is well balanced as are the malts and hops. Goes down easy but it would have been better if it were slightly thicker.
Notes: Loads of chocolate with lots of flavor. Chocolate provides slightly more bitterness than sweetness (same goes for the overall taste), but that may be just because the finish is bitter and it stays on the tongue for awhile.

Mar 6, 2010 Awesome beer. Pour is deep black with dark tan head. two fingers. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malts, and coffee. Taste is uber-chocolate and hint of coffee in the finish. Overall, a solid beer. Rogue never fails.

Mar 1, 2010 Nose is straight up chocolate (hersheys) syrup. Liquid chocolate, well balanced with a syrupy mouthfeel. I found it really one dimensional, was hoping there would be more to it, but for being a chocolate stout, you can’t really go wrong can ya?

Feb 28, 2010 Heartbroken that my Young’s Double Chocolate Stout is so hard to find I went on a quest to find a chocolate stout that could match it. Thanks to smith4498 for the suggestion. 22oz. bottle from the fine folks at Crown Liquors. The smell is a strong dark chocolate one. Poured nice and thick into my stein with a brown milkshake style head. A very dark brew. The taste is more coffee than chocolate, a bitter tasty flavor. Not as good as Young’s, but I will definitely be getting this again.
