Ommegang Chocolate Indulgence

On tap. Very little head. Nice and sweet - chocolate as promised but not a lot else. Mouthfeel is a little thin.

Guest tap at FFF. Poured uber-dark brown with a bubbly cream head. Aroma dominated by - wait for it - chocolate, but nice roasted malt and a touch of spiciness as well. Flavor was huge cocoa with dark fruit undertones. Very dry bittersweet chocolate finish. Nicely bubbly and relatively light mouthfeel make it drinkable despite the overall richness of flavor. Good, but probably not worth the premium price.

Pour gave a nice black body with a thick tan head. Aroma is a simple, a little roasted malt, cream and chocolate. Texture comes off as dry and slightly biter, but it matches well with a bitter chocolate taste. The beer is not overly chocolatey. It warms up to a little more chocolate flavor, but still is pretty balanced with the chocolate aspect and the stout aspect.

Getting my notebook online. Bottle. Pours a thin dark black. Belgium yeasts take over the taste. Very little chocolate or cocoa flavors. A bit disappointing.

On tap at Sharp Edge. Pours dark black w/ thick foamy dark beige head. Some nice lacing. Nose was dark chocolate espresso grounds sprinkled with sugar. Dark burnt bitter chocolate flavor. Some strange funk and dark fruit. Leaves a dry and dark bitter aftertaste like black Starbucks coffee. Pretty solid thick body. It is tasty, but not as good as I would have hoped.

From a 750ml bottle aged about 10 months. Deep chocolate pour with a large creamy head. Aroma of chocolate, dark malt and dusty belgian yeast. Rich, creamy taste with just the right amount of chocolate coming in. Ends with a sticky fruit sweetness; like some dark cherries.

Corked bottle
Pours a rich coffee black with what looks like Heath bar crumbles at the bottom of the Duvel tulip glass. Aroma is chalky chocolate powder and roasted caramel. Taste is a blend of roasted chocolate nut with a subtle smokiness in the background. A bit of peat is also in attendance. Silky mouthfeel. A nice beer that I’ll definitely try again.

From bottle : Pours a dark brown color, with a light brown half finger of head. Nice lacing around the glass. Aroma of sweet malts, chocolate, and a little alcohol. Taste is mainly chocolate and cocoa, with some malt toward the end, and also a little bit of bitterness on the finish. A pretty full body, and smooth feel going down. A nice chocolatey treat.
