Bottle pours brown-black with persistent tan head. Aroma chocolate with slight roast and licorice. Flavor roast and chocolate, slight molasses. Mild roasty finish. Creamy full palate.

Serving: 750 ml. bottle from State Line Liquors. It pours a viscous black with a thick, frothy, tan head. The nose is roasty with slight mineral notes. The flavor has a lot of roasted malt with a slight dark, fruity underpinning. Those mineral notes show up on the back end with a roasted bitter finish. A little tobacco emerges as the beer warms. Full bodied with average carbonation and a long finish. Tasty stuff.

Pours unclear dark as the Belgian dark chocolate added to the beer, with a caramel head that dissipates quickly. The aroma is delicious roasted malts and toasty chocolate notes so nice in the nose after a few years of development. Flavors have some sweet chocolate boozy notes and roasted malts with developed yeast notes. The body is just creamy and smooth enough.

Dark brown pour with a light brown/tan head. Aroma is roasty chocolate and some lactose. Flavor is very similar and it is one tasty brew.

750 ml bottle poured a dark black color, aromas of cocoa, roasted malt, dry earth, and some light root. flavors are the same, light dryness in the aftertaste, decent beer overall.

Bottle thanks to Craig. Pours a black hue with a medium brown head. A sweet nose of chocolate and vanilla. A nice smooth brew with loads of chocolate, vanilla bean, light roast, very smooth. Tasty.

Tasted on 4/26/12 from a capped 750mL bottle obtained in a trade. Pours completely black with a cascading and slow forming average brown head that slowly recedes to a thin layer of lace. The nose is full of roasted malt and dark chocolate, with just a touch of orange oil, molasses, cocoa nibs, vanilla, milk chocolate, and coffee. The flavor is lightly sweet cocoa nibs, molasses, vanilla, and milk chocolate up front, moving to dark chocolate and mocha with a hint of orange oil and light bitterness. The body is full with light but somewhat stinging carbonation and a long vanilla, milk chocolate, and lightly bitter mocha finish.

Bottle. Dark pour with tan head. Dry finish stout with light toasted tones, hints of chocolate. Aroma is dry malt, hints of cocoa, roasted malt and light toasted tones. Flavor follows.

Appearance: oil and pitch under an espresso crema head, tight and creamy, which eventually fades into a thin layer with a slightly thicker border. Swirls thick along the edges.
Nose: chocolate covered dark fruits. Melted European chocolates. Black root followed by char, tar and smoke mingling together effortlessly. Chocolate covered dried cherries. Chocolate covered almonds. Dark fruit tartness along the edges. Dense delicious fudge.
Palate: smooth and silky mouthfeel, gliding across my tongue with a slow persistent building bitter burnt nutty finish. Dark fruits dominate the middle. Hints of red wine and leathery tannins skirt the edges. Chocolate truffle powder in the back followed by a brief hit of peat and smoke. Burnt caramel and espresso crema. Fresh coffee notes fade as the beer warms up, slipping into the background. Grows ever smoother and silkier with each quaff until there is no more. Chocolate is the glue which holds everything together in sublime seduction.
Final Thoughts: yum! Liquid dessert or breakfast. Chocolate and coffee are good anytime of the day as is beer such as the Chocolate Stout from Flying Fish. Thanks to Total Wine for offering Fish’s beers here in the sunshine state via a brewery direct connection.
