Dec 10, 2008 750 ml bottle pours dark brown with a light tan head. A nice even aroma of roasted malts and chocolate. Tastes of smokey malt, sweet chocolate and a hint of coffee with none that are to overpowering. Very pleasant balanceed stout.

Dec 10, 2008 750ml corked and caged bottle. Pours a nearly opaque black with a one finger tan head and nice lacing. Nose is sweet malt, milk chocolate and some roastiness. Taste is chocolate, burnt malt, light dark fruits and powdery cocoa with a touch of bitter hops in the finish. Medium creamy mouth feel. Good stout.

Dec 6, 2008 Pours a nice thick almost black with a nice tan head that ends in a thin layer and stays that way. Aroma is coffee and chocolate. First sip brings a big bitterness that soon fades. Again, coffee and chocolate reign supreme. Hops are in there but are not significant to the taste and some dark fruit can be noted. This is a chocolate and coffee bomb and is a very good beer that is exactly as advertised.

Dec 6, 2008 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.

Dec 5, 2008 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.
