#100. Pours an intense black, very little tan head. Not as thick as the Kentucky version. Aroma is mouthwatering--bittersweet chocolate, coffee, a little alcohol and some hops. I’m not kidding, every time I smell this my mouth waters. Flavor is intense and very pronounced. Wow this is one amazing beer. The flavor comes in waves of dark bittersweet chocolate and roasted coffee. Rogue Chocolate stout eat your heart out. There is a backbone of sweet malts and oats. There is some subtle bitterness from hops throughout. The palate is very very smooth, but the viscosity is not as high as the Kentucky, which is one of the things I liked about it. I would like this beer to be thicker. I have to say this beer tastes the most like coffee/chocolate of any I’ve had. It is very very drinkable, and the alcohol is not apparent (until you’re drunk of course). A great brew from Founder’s.

Oct 12, 2008 12 oz. Opaque black with a small head that tries to last, and leaves some frosty lace. Aroma is pretty much pure coffee, maybe some oats. Flavor is coffee, turning to cocoa and oats, some light peanut and caramel. Heavy body is smooth, sticky and dryish, with some light tingle. Smooth and tasty one-note beer that’s a bit overrated.

Oct 12, 2008 This stuff is strong. A ton of everything it says. Coffee and chocolate and you know it. So rich and really good. A lot of alcohol comes through for me too.

Oct 11, 2008 Pours from 12 oz bottle almost completely black, forming beautiful off black foamy head. Aroma of chocolate delights, hops, malts, espresso coffee beans. Flavour much of the same, simple bliss and goodness, smoothness prevails in rich and sublime cleanness. Bitterness and hops give the beer a supreme character, kick ass!
