A - Served a dark black color with a thin layer of frothy chocolate head. Head fades quickly leaving behind some good lace. S - Aroma is full of chocolate with some roasted aroma and a bit of burnt malt and cocoa nibs. T - Starts off with some strong roasted bittersweet chocolate. Through the middle a touch of hops comes through with a touch of sweetness and a bit of burnt chocolate and espresso. The finish is a mix of roasted malts with some burnt flavors and more chocolate. M - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Feels smooth with a dry and slightly thick mouthfeel. D - Very drinkable. Really strong chocolate style that dominates the flavor and nose. Really nice take on the style.

Black with a creamy tan head. Roasty slightly smokey sweet chocolate aroma and taste.

A: The pour is a very dark brown color, nearly black, with a sturdy mocha colored head. S: The nose is primarily chocolate with a fair amount of roasted malts, some espresso, some more roasted malt (possibly burnt) and alcohol. Which is sort of strange for a beer that’s only 5.3%. T: The flavors are nowhere near as intense as I would have anticipated or hoped. Moderate chocolate and cocoa flavor with some slightly sweet bread pudding sort of flavor as well. Mild roasted malts are present as well. M: The body is medium with a low to medium carbonation. D: Like many of the other beers at Magnolia, this was a let down. Just sort of bland and what was there wasn’t all that impressive.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours dark brown with a modest tan head and a strong chocolate aroma. There is a sort of thin burnt malt flavor with a dry smoky finish.

Draft. Dark brown beer with a light brown head. Roasty/toasty aroma with chocolate and malt. Chocolate and malt flavor with light vanilla. Medium bodied. Chocolate and malt lingers with light vanilla.
