Black pour thin off white beige head, thin and watery mouthfeel ..... Taste is of cocoa/bitter dark chocolate, smoke, little chalky and roasted malts leading to a bitter hop that lingering into a dry bitter finish .... aroma is of cocoa, roasted malts and light smoke .... thin but the abv is hidden well .... like a smoked porter more than a stout

Deep black, opaque, even at the edges, just a glimmer of light comes through at the edges... No head, poured to the rim, but little retention, or livelyness when i swirled later on.. Loads of caramel in the aroma, has a distinct sweetness over a slightly roast very mildly chocolaty aroma... kinda lively mouthfeel, some lightly bitter chocolate flavors, very light alcohol, some subtle dark fruits, slightly milky... Lots of chocolate in the flavor...

Draught at TJ’s: Aroma of chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, slight vanilla, and cream. Poured pitch black in color with a small to medium-sized, creamy, dense, rocky, tan/brown head that lasted throughout. Opaque. Excellent lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet and light to medium bitter. Tastes of roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, hops, and light pine. Medium body. Thin, slick, creamy texture. Soft to average carbonation. Chocolate, roasted malt, coffee, and slight cream finish. 8%ABV is completely hidden throughout.

Firkin pour. Roasty chocolate aroma. Mouthfeel leaves some texture to be desired. Little bit bitter, some light roasted flavor notes.

Draft from firkin at Craft’s Dock Street event. Pours so black I can’t tell if it is turbid or not, with a 1-finger tan head that stays around for awhile. Well hidden alcohol, with predominantly dark patent malt and dark chocolate notes in the flavor. Fairly dense palate, with good complexity, and taste notes of late hops, fig, and minor rauchy hints matched by a gargantuan malt load. Delicious, and I feel like a real beer hunter every time I find a beer like this.

Draft at belgian cafe. Pours a deep black with no head. Aroma is sweet chocolate. Taste is roasty and sweet chocolate malt.

On tap at Belgian cafe. Roasted chocolate and cocoa. Smooth and delicious.

had at belgian cafe with james and andrew. pours a solid dark brown. some dark head. aroma is chocolate and malts. flavor is burnt. intense but thin.

Opaque black with a medium sized, tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of dark chocolate, roast, some smoked malts, and light alcohol. Taste of sweeter chocolate notes, roast, smoke, dark chocolate, and light alcohol in the finish.

Scarily easy to drink. Great flavor of Belgian chocolate. Silky oily mouthfeel, almost a porter. After the chocolate the malt backbone emerges, with a long bitter hoppy finish. Bonus points for pulling this off at 6%. One of most pleasant surprises of Philadelphia Beer Week.
