Underwhelmed by this one, unfortunately. Pour is beautiful deep brown, with tan head. Looks nice. But aroma had some ashtray notes mingled with the roasty chocolate aromas. A bit over-bittered on the palate - I found it too much vs. a balanced roasted chocolate flavor that I expected. There are better options for a chocolate-flavored beer, in my humble opinion.

A low mocha head fades rather quickly over a deep caramel/brown body. Sweet, syrupy chocolate maltiness is the overwhelming aroma with light alcohol notes behind. Chocolate, roasts and alcohol blend almost perfectly in the flavor although the alcohol seems a little forward with a light sour/metallic astringence. Smooth and rather thick in the mouth and gullet. An indulgence to be sure, this beer is perfectly advertised and is a quality dessert beer. ~~~~~750 ml purchased Jan. 2008, Binnys Orland Park, IL... consumed December 2008.

Pours black with a tan head. Aroma of malts and chocolate. Flavor was roasted and dark with alcohol in the finish.

Pours black as night with a foamy amber head and legs a plenty. Roasted aroma of chocolate. Taste is loaded with chocolate, roast coffee and malt.

On tap at The Neighborhood in San Diego. Near-black brown, with a bubbly whispy brown head. Sweet chocolate milk aroma. Chocolate driven palate, very rich, sweet, some roast and coffee also. This became a little too sweet toward the end.

11.16.08 On tap. Bought a bottle of this but got to try it on tap before opening the bottle. A pretty delicious stout with a nice balance of chocolate-ness. They resisted the temptation to overload on the ’gimmick’ ingredient

A pretty damn good stout. Pours a dark black with a brown haed and tastes malty with a slight hint of chocolate. Probably not enough for me to recognize it without being told beforehand though. I drank this out of a shaker.

This is one seriously dark beer. Held up to the light, not even a hint comes through. Pretty substantial (2 fingers) head that lingers for a bit. The aroma is, as you might expect, chocolatey. Deep, rich, dark chocolate. Interestingly, there’s also a hint of something herbal, sage perhaps, and what smells slightly like milk. Quite a complex nose. On the palate, the beer’s strongly reminiscent of powerful coffee -- slightly viscous and chocolate, with a bit of roast flavor. While there’s some hops near the end to round thing out, this is a profoundly malty beer. Interestingly, the flavor that lingers is not so much of cocoa powder, but of smokey roasted cocoa. A solid winter offering. Happy birthday Ommegang.
