Pours very dark brown with a thick foamy light brown head, which stands up above the rim of the glass. Aroma chocolate and molasses, with some sourness in the background. Taste is sweet, chocolate, with some bitterness in the aftertaste. Tingly mouthfeel from the carbonation. Seems more like a sweet stout, was expecting more from a "triple" chocolate. Alcohol level is not apparent. At $3.50 a 12 oz bottle it’s over priced.

Sep 4, 2008 Bottle at chris_o’s teabagging contest. Alround rating: Coffee, cola, sweet roasted malts, yet thin and not really doing much.

Sep 3, 2008 Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Pours out in an almost black colour with a low pale brown head. Sweetish and rather milky aroma of coffee, roasted nuts and cocoa. Medium-bodied with a creamy flavour of milky chocolate and cocoa-powder. Quite one-dimensional and sticky. Quite sugary finish of chocolate sauce and roasted almonds. Lacking finesse and real drinkability.

Sep 3, 2008 Ok, I had this one other time and it was infected. So I am now getting around to rating from a more fresh bomber. the aroma is the obvious cocoa with some light roast walnut notes. The taste is cheap milk chocolate with some cheap coffee. There is a strong iced tea finish with some pecans. This doe snot taste as good as I described. A thin mouthfeel and light roast help to make this boring.

Aug 31, 2008 Bottle. Strong coffee, roasted malt aroma. Black in colour with a chocolate milkshake colour head., a little thin. Smooth texture with a delicate finish. A little to thin for my liking in the finish, would like it a bit stronger. Overall a good chocolate stout but many better ones out there.

Appearance: Black-brownish with a light-beige lace
Aroma: Chocolate, Cream, Toffee
Flavor: Molsasses, Milkchocolate, Espresso and wee hint of licorice and metal.
Palate: Very sweet and creamy. A bit overwhelming, like a milk stout on steroids. Low carbonation.
An average stout although a bit too sweet for my taste. Give it a try if you’re into milkstouts or similar ales.
