Dark brown, nearing black. Tan foamy head and sparse lacing. Chocolate and roast aromas with some bitter hops. Mostly chocolate, but bitter and roast are about. Watery body with a chocolate bitter finish.

On tap at the Highland Stillhouse. Dark brown body with a small khaki head. Sweet nose of dark chocolate. Meadium roastiness. More dry that I was expecting, I was thinking it would end sweet, but rather bitter and dry. Decent overall, but I felt it was over-hopped and should have stayed a touch sweeter to bring out the chocolate flavor more.

This was very nice and well made, but just simply not for me. I have never been a huge fan of chocolate stouts and this is no exception. Deep and dark in color, with an off white fluffy head. Had that chocolate mocha flavor and the mouthfeel was a little thin, but has some nice roastiness and hop levels, that blend well together. Finish is way tooo bitter and turned me off to it.

Sampled draught at Mia & Pias Tap Room, Klamath Falls
Black color, tan head. Nose of sweet roast & mocha, a nice blend of chocolate & coffee. Damn, I was about to fall asleep while doing this ampler until this one. The flavor breaths life into the chocolate with a floral hoppiness that’s so subtle that it just whispers. Nice chocostout.
