On tap at The Beer Store in Southampton, PA. Not as blown away by this as I was with their Rye IPA, but this is still a fairly enjoyable chocolate stout.

Dark brown-black body, moderate sized khaki head, creamy lacing. Nose is chocolate with light caramel and brown sugar. Flavor is mostly a soft bittersweet chocolate with light contributions of caramel and roast. Medium bodied, creamy, soft carbonation. Dock Street’s take on Young Double Chocolate. A nice rendition.

On tap at Iron Hill Belgium Comes to West Chester. Dark body. Fairly heavy chocolate with a bit of roast. Mildly acrid.

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.
