Ommegang Chocolate Indulgence

Draft. Black with creamy tan head. Yeasty light sour aroma. The taste was light mal, peat, with roasted light bitter finish. Pretty smooth on the palate.

Thewolf tasting. Pour pitch blach with a nice beige head. Aroma of malt and chocolate. Flavour is malty sweet and has a lot of chocolat and a great aftertaste of coffee.

Poured a deep, opaque, slightly watery black with a medium, tight slightly off white head. Smells of dark chocolate and coffee. Flavor was all chocolate, hardly any malt to speak of, with maybe a hint of Belgian Candy or something else lurking behind the chocolate flavor. Fairly silty on the palate with a dry finish. I paired this with a chocolate peanut butter pie I made for my girlfriend’s birthday and it was outrageous. Certainly not a session beer, but a great dessert beer none the less.

Bottle. Black pour with some light brown head. Nice chocolate aroma, semi-sweet, and some roasted malt. Flavor is semi-sweet chocolate, lightly roasted malt, and some underlying fruit / slighly funky yeast. The chocolate and roasted malt creates a bitter finish. Overall, it is an enjoyable chocolate stout with a unique mouthfeel.

Meh...very bitter in the aftertaste. Not much, if any chocolate flavor. A slight disappointment, really. Ommegang could have used more chocolate aroma, at least. On the bright side, lots of malt body.

Pours a dark choclatey color, with a slight brown head. Strong aroma of malt and chocolate. Sweet flavor with hints for coffee and chocolate, and drinkable, not as much flavor as I expected. But good overall.

On tap at Capones. Pours a deep brown bordering on black with a medium creamy tan lacing head. Aroma of milk chocolate, vanilla, nuts, lightly roasted malts and some fruit esters. Flavor of caramel, milk chocolate, roasted malt, some nuts, a touch of bitterness and vanilla.

750ml bottle courtesy of MrBendo. Pour is black with ruby highlights and a one inch tan head. Head had decent retention. Aroma of cocoa and dark chocolate roasted malt. I also detect some earthy vegetable notes as well. An interesting nose, to be certain. Taste has more of an old coffee taste then the cocoa chocolate. In fact, the chocolate was barely perceptible in the taste. A little bit on the bland side. Palate was pretty thin, certainly not as big as expected. Finish is dry and chalky. This was drinkable, but not terribly exciting. Was more or less a straight forward Dry Stout to me.
