4.6 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
22 oz bottle from Tournament. Dark brown pour, thin head. This beer can be summed up in one way - it’s a super chocolate smelling/tasting version of a Tootsie Roll, only much much better than what you’d imagine with that description. Yeah, it’s that good.

2011 bottle. So deliciously chocolaty in the aroma and flavour. Great for after dinner. Black body and a great creamy mouth feel. Like drinking an alcoholic chocolate bar. Fantastically done.

Flavor outpaces the aroma, though its really not anything to complain about. Flavors are unbelievable... Lot of chocolate. Sweet cocoa flavor with a slightly bitter finish. Not sure I could drink much of it given its richness, but what a wonderful beer overall.

UPDATED: MAY 24, 2012 Bottle at Dans, courtesy of Aaron. Thanks man! Poured pitch black with a small tan head. Aroma is crazy chocolate, dark chocolate, and coffee. Smell is amazing; like liquid chocolate syrup, WOW. Taste follows, with hints of huge chocolate, coffee, and light vanilla. Would never have thought this beer was 11% ABV, because damn it’s smooth. Mouthfeel is thick and creamy, with medium carbonation. Overall, a fine stout and reminds me of a melted Hershey’s bar. Delicious.

Oily, black with brown head. It´s quite sticky. As it´s name says it is pure chocolate, with some caffe notes. Taste is sweet, also mainly chocolate with some torrefact notes.

This is great as long as you love chocolate. Smooth but delicious. Highly recommend this to anyone who says they don't like dark beer.

Pours coffee black with a thin brown head that disappeared quick. Aromas of guess what, chocolate, large amounts of chocolate. Actually smells like hershey’s chocolate syrup without much other detectable to me than just that. Taste has a little bit more complexity than the aroma, with some vanilla hiding in there but still chocolate reigns supreme. Not a bad offering considering I enjoy chocolate on occasion, but I would almost consider this overkill. The alcohol is covered fairly well and it doesn’t have a watery mouthfeel, but it still doesn’t change the fact that this is like melting a hershey’s chocolate bar, chilling it, drinking it, and catching a buzz that is not sugar related. But after saying all that, it’s not a bad beer, just one dimensional and nowhere near a great imperial stout.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
On tap at Cask P&K, London. Pours a deep brown, almost black colour with a small light brown head. Quikly vanishing foam. Aroma is chocolate upfront, with cocoa powder, milk and vanilla. Taste is sweetish and similar to the aroma with only a touch of roasted bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium to full with. Good carbonation. Overall, this is just too simmilar to chocolate milk to deserve a really high score from me, but it’s honestlt good and enjoyable.

22 ounce bottle, poured a black color. Aromas of milk chocolate, toffee, roasted malt, some vanilla, and fudge. Flavors are the same, the booziness is sneaky with this one, didn’t taste like an 11% beer should. Real enjoyable beer overall.
