3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at C’est What?. Black pour, lasting tan head. Nitro. Dark chocolate aroma, black coffee, fairly sweet. Dark Toblerone. Little bit watery. Balance is good and flavours are there. If there’s orange in here, I didn’t quite get it, but I also didn’t mind. It was good on it’s own. Nice thick basic chocolate stout, more than a "spice/herb/vegetable".

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Drougt at Cest What, Toronto. Dark brown color, creamy amber-tan head with good retention, coffee aroma, coffee-cocoa flavor, mild carbonation, medium finish. Could not taste the orange in it though there is a ghost of sweetness involved.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask at C’est What. Deep black pour. The nose is very chocolately and cocoaish with a very light anise character. I don’t really get much orange in here other than a bit of light estery fruit on the back of the palate. It’s actually a lovely chocolately porter, but the orange is nowhere to be found in it.

Tap, pours a nice dark black, like a stout, with a dark head, the aroma is a chocolate and it was quite good. the taste was also of a very nice smooth chocolate taste, maybe a faint hint of orange in the back end. but overall this one was great it tasted soo smooth and it was really drinkable

500ml draught
5.8% ABV
I tried this beer on March 22, 2011 on tap at "C’est What" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer was a very dark brown/coca-cola colour with a 1" foamy tan coloured head. The aroma was roasted malt, floral hops, and weak orange scents. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was roasted malts, nuts, and weak citrus.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
On Tap at C’est What, Toronto 14/11/2010
Chocolate aroma. Beige head. Black hoppy smooth on the palate and fruity with an orange flavour. A hint of bitterness in a dry coffee roast finish.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Black with brown nitro head that initially deadens the aromas. Subtle chocolate becomes richer and more liqueur-like in the nose as the head settles. Taste rich chocolate with hint of orange, nicely put together, just very very enjoyable.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Lovely, lovely stuff. Dark dark brown (near black), nice head. As advertised, milk chocolate, orange, and hazelnut. The chocolate and hazelnut were definitely the big players - the orange gives it just a little bit of background kick to keep it from being watery nutella. Incredibly smooth, rich mouthfeel.
