Bottle from local Yamaya. Cocoa powder nose. Dark tea brown, very little head. Cocoa again in initial; and that diminishes quickly in mid palate; such a light nothing finish. Thin body. Very bland and one-dimensional, and not much of a dimension, either. So thin and watery. Need more malt and some hopping to lift it out of the watery cocoa drink mode.

Bottle from Yamaya. Big chocolate nose, dry, rich, nutty. Not very beer-like, but pleasant.  Dark brown with orange tints and a nice, fine head. Chocolate flavor, some dark malts, mostly cocoa fudge with a bit of nuttiness. Simple, not much beer character. Not terrible, but not all that good either.
