DavoleBomb (1143) - Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 17, 2011
Served in a pint glass from tap. Had this at the Brewery, which was a very nice place. Review from notes. I read the description, but forgot most of it. What I do remember is that it is brewed with chocolate. 3.5 A: Deep black color. Just a touch of tan head. The pour was a bad one and the beer was filled almost all the way up to the top of the glass so I can’t tell you much more. 3.5 S: Pleasant roasted barley and burnt smell. Not too much else going on. Overall, pretty uninteresting. 4.0 T: Dark chocolate with a healthy bitterness, espresso, and burntness again. 4.0 M: Medium body. Smooth and creamy with good carbonation. 3.5 D: Pretty good, but got a little boring toward the end. Nonetheless, it’s a solid offering and pretty good for a stout that doesn’t have imperial in the name. Serving type: on-tap Reviewed on: 10-02-2009 04:45:31

hellbilly (3053) - scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA - JUL 6, 2009
looks like dr. pepper with a short lived soft off white head/ring. aromas of roasted grain, smoky wood, light coffee, cocoa and a bit dusty. the flavor is pretty similar... add some rootbeer flavor, mild tartness, slight acidity and an ashy finish which lingers in to the aftertaste. the body is light to medium and terribly easy to drink. 6/3/6/3/14/3.2
