330ml brown bottle. Deep brown/black in colour. Small, creamy tan head which recedes to a swirl. Aroma is chocolately with a bit of coffee. Flavour is of dark chocolate with medium malt sweetness. Big bitter finish with roasted malt, black coffee and hops. Medium bodied, fine carbonation. Very drinkable, though not terribly complex.

Jul 2, 2008 Bottle, thanks after4ever! Pours opaque black with a lacy tan head. Sweet aroma of brown sugar, grain and coffee. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Sweet coffee taste, moderated by earthy hops. Somewhat astringent and smoky finish.

Jun 29, 2008 Pours black, hint of brown or ruby, moderate light brown head with some retention. Aroma of roasted malt and chocolate, hints of yeast and burnt sugar. Flavour is sweet and very chocolatey with a noticeably dry roasty/hoppy finish that has prominent notes of dark coffee. Thinner body than I would have expected for the style, but with an extraordinarily smooth mouthfeel that more than makes up for it. A cute chocolate monster indeed!

Jun 28, 2008 Deep brown colour. Aroma is a bit strange. Lightly briny and salty. A bit of peat with a touch of molasses. Flavour is oddly thin and watery. A touch of coffee. Meh... pretty bad.
