Black pour tan creamy head ... light lacing aroma of cocoa and light coffee ... taste is roasted malts dark chocolate with a bitter hop finish .... overall kinda disappointing no trace of abv

12 oz. bottle from Bailey’s Chocolate Bar. When in Rome, right? Pours a dark, opaque brown color with a small tan head that eventually leaves just a ring. Aroma of dark chocolate, roasted malts, coffee, toasted oats, and earth. Flavor of bitter dark chocolate, cocoa beans, espresso, coffee grounds, roasted malts, and char. Medium-bodied, with mild carbonation and a seriously roasty mouthfeel. All bitterness seems to come from the dark roast and chocolate. Leans more heavily toward coffee than chocolate, and what chocolate is there is so freaking dark and bitter. If it were milder chocolate I would have liked it more because the mouthfeel was so smooth and nice otherwise.

Reviewed from notes. Pours near with with a nearly nonexistent head and no lacing. Somewhat forgivable given the style. Nose brings a good amount of cocoa and roast plus a touch of coffee and vanilla. Really strong cocoa. The taste adds in a bit of extra vanilla flavor, though it’s quite faint. Delivers hard on the cocoa with quite a bit of roast in the background. Medium body and somewhat smooth. Actually, really smooth. Drinks really nicely. A solid hit for Arcadia.

Poured from a 12oz bottle from Manny57. Pours nearly black with nice brown head. Smells of chocolate and roasted malts. Tastes of cocoa, but lacks the sweetness I expected from a Chocolate Stout.

22oz - Looked and smelled the part. Flavor was nice on the sip, and it finished well. For lack of a better explanation, it was missing a middle, no mouthfeel, no weight, a little watery.

Tasty, yet a bit of a light aftertaste. This combination sounds like it should be very sweet, but is more burnt carmelly than sweet. A good beer, but nothing I will seek out again.

Tangy chocolate aroma. Dark brown color with a medium white head. Sweet chocolate beginning with a mild bitter middle that fades in the finish.

Opaque black pour with a small, fading tan head. Cocoa, coffee and roast malt aroma. Well balanced Stout. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Has a slight chocolatey taste to it. Goes down very smooth hardly any after taste. A very good summer beer. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Bottle poured a clear dark reddish brown nearly black with a small lingering tan head. Aromas of burnt carmel, vanilla, cocoa and a hint of molasses. Palate was light to medium bodied and smooth wioth a dry finish. Flavors of burnt carmel, cocoa, vanilla and light molasses with a smooth dry lingering cocoa finish.
