Pours a black color with an almost orange, brown head. Aroma is of sweet chocolate and a touch of roasted malts. Can definitely taste bitter chocolate, with a sweet roasted malt backbone. Some coffee as well. Decent.

You can certainly smell the cocoa from the onset... and not much else. Opaque appearance, not even a hint of light through this stuff. Flavor is all cocoa, not very stout to be called a stout. Palate is slightly lively, but nothing to call home about, which sums up this beer.

Tap @ Green Dragon... Poured black with a thin, brown head. Aroma was nutty with chocolate. Flavors were really different from the aroma. Very bitter and strong sense of alcohol notes. Was also chalky and you can taste the bitter dark chocolate. Maybe molasses in the finish.

Deep chocolate aroma and thick chocolate and cherry flavor, yet dry enough to be drinkable.

Getting my notebook online. Bottle. Pours black. Flavors off! Taste like they made a stout and put a bunch of cocoa from the cupboard in the bottle. Not that good at all.
