CaptainCougar (5379), Rockville, Maryland, USA Nov 19, 2007 Bottle sampled on 9/16/07: Pours a mostly opaque with dark mahogany edges and a frothy, wispy-lacing light tan head. Aroma of sweet dark chocolate caramel with some lightly roasted notes. Body starts sweet and dark chocolatey with good malted milk flavor and a smooth, full body. Nicely-balanced, enjoyable and unique. A great sweet stout. xmarcnolanx (789), Kirkwood, Missouri, USA Nov 7, 2007 Aroma is sweet chocolate malt and dark molasses.
Flavor is mostly sweet chocolate and molasses also. Not much astringency, slight bitterness, with no great amount of lingering finish.
Very drinkable and decent. sliffy (1966), Columbus, Ohio, USA Oct 31, 2007 Bottle: Pours a dark brown to black with a tan head. Aroma, buttery, some coffee, dark fruits and chocolate. Flavor, chocolate, coffee, some fruits, sweet with some buttery notes on the tail end. Smooth, and sweet, medium bodied. RblWthACoz (963), Brooklyn, New York, USA Sep 28, 2007 Pours a pitch black with no head after a minute. Nose is mostly roasted character. Flavor is sweet with a roasted tone that borders on being "burnt". Feel is heavy on the bubble hitting the tongue and the liquid feel is pretty decently thick also. Drinkable, yes. A fairly smooth and even milk stout.
MaliMisho (208), East Meadow, New York, USA Sep 23, 2007 This beer was solid black, and had thick brown head. It was like drinking alcoholic chocolate milk. Chapel (329), Levittown, New York, USA Sep 22, 2007 Dark as night with a brown head. Somewhat malty chocolate flavor and aroma. As the description says it is a very good representation of the style. If you like this also try Sam Adams Cream Stout. KAggie97 (2406), Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA Sep 15, 2007 Updated: Sep 22, 2007Bottle from Goldtwins. Thanks! Pours an average nut-brown with an aroma of chocolate and hazelnut. Thin mouthfeel. Tastes of expired chocolate milk... Too much heat in transition? Dunno. mhot55 (99), USA Sep 9, 2007 "rich, somewhat sweet taste. nicely roasted. Reallyliked this one. I would say it is in the wrong category- this should be under "sweet stouts", although it is not too sweet. Just sweet enough to balance out the bitterness. real good balance. very smooth and not too heavy. everything is just right here."
