Lacking in taste and aroma.....almost smells like a bourbon blended drink. Overall not a very good stout.

Dark brown almost black pour with aromas of roast, toast and rich chocolate. Taste of coffee and chocolate with a dry / bitter finish.

Bottle. Dark brown with a small tan head. The nose is mellow - some, chocolate, black cherries, sweet malts. The taste is quite sweet with a slightly dry finish. Not much bitterness. The palate is medium, the carbonation subtle. Overall, an OK stout.

12 oz bottle. Pours deep brown with a small light beige froth. Aroma is sweet with some chocolate and roastiness, just a hint of coffee and some candyish sweetness. Flavor starts sweet, again more chocolate, not as roasty, just very sweet, chocolate candy and some odd dark fruitiness towards the finish. Medium body and a sharp carbonation.

Chocolate and malt aroma Pours thin and dark with no head Taste is simple and very carbonated

I got more malt out of the smell than chocolate. To be honest I didn’t get much chocolate at all. The taste was average for a stout and was hoping to get some chocolate out of it. Glad I only got a single rather than a whole 6 pack.

Dark brown brew with a tan, fluffy head. Aromas of subtle dark coffee. Tastes of a simple mix of dark coffee/chocolate, not much else. A bit dry, and watery. Light bodied for a stout, bitter chocolate finish. This was slightly above average.

This beer tastes like liquid dark chocolate. I want to try the double chocolate stout now.

UPDATED: DEC 24, 2011 [Original Rating: 11/27/11] 12oz bottle, purchased for $2.10 from The Party Source. Almost entirely black in color, a minimal light tan head. Some lace. Carbonation is pronounced. Nice and roasty. Taste is light bitter, then light sweet in the aftertaste. Overall, this beer is pretty good, but the aroma is a bit weak and the texture is a bit too sharp. That’s what’s holding this back from greatness. Quite a light body for a "chocolate stout", too... Texture does not evoke chocolate

[Rerate: 12/22/11] Palate score changed from 2 to 3. Pitch-blackc olor, minimal brown head, some lace. Sharper, crisp, pronounced carbonation, but it’s kind of nice. Great dark chocolate aroma. Pleasant bittersweet taste. A satisfying chocolate stout, a great final brew to enjoy desert with before hitting the sack. Solid aftertaste with which to savor the aroma. A decent chocolate stout... but not good enough for to warrant the purchase of a 6-pack

sample from bottle on 11/16/11. black pour with a thin tan head. roast / coffee / choc nose with roast throughout. medium to light body with chocolate and roasted malts. dry chocolate finish - sweet.
