On tap at Red Light Red Light. REALLY Nice. Pours BLACK. This is like a chocolate, malty milkshake. Nice cherry hints. Definite coffee and nutty tastes. Nice and roasty. Wish I could drink this on a cold night...but we don’t have many of those here in Orlando.

Pours a dark black color with a small tan head. Strong chocolate taste with a mix of malts, and slight fruity taste. A typical stout in style, but freat tasting. Alcohol is masked by the strong chocolate flavor. Great for the this time of year. Will drink again.

12oz bottle: pours a deep black color with small light-brown head. Aroma is not as strong as I was expecting...light hints of alcohol and smokey cocoa. Initial taste of sweet fruit, black licorice and dark chocolate. Finishes warm with a raisin and alcohol taste. A dry, roasted malt sensation lingers. This is definitely full body but not excessively heavy. Enjoyable, but I was expecting to detect more chocolate aroma & flavor since thats what the label advertises. I’ll age the rest of these and try again next year.

I’m in the minority here. It is a well crafted beer, but you have to like the style to like the beer. That said, this beer delivers a rich taste that stays with the drinker. My favorite after dinner beer, but one is all I need. I fine beer to serve with desert with a good cigar.

Whoa, this is a big beer. Pours to an engine-oil colored dark brown/black with a thick, lasting tan head. On the nose you definitely get some chocolate, but it’s preceded by dark chocolate and hints of liqueur -- think chocolate covered cherries. On the palate this beer is big and syrupy, a serious winter offering. While it’s certainly malty to begin with, it finishes with smokey malt. An amazing, complex and exciting beer.
