emacgee (1859), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Jan 14, 2008 Thanks girlfriend for the surprise. The pour is a light brown and it sits dark black in the glass. The head is one finger thick, creamy, tan, and dissipates quickly. The aroma is sweet, chalky bakers chocolate, and some dark malt. The flavor is a bit chalky, waxy chocolate, a bit thin, some dark malt, not too dynamic. aubreya (676), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Jan 14, 2008 . The color was and opaque dark chocoalte. The head was cremay and off-white. The aroma was chocolate, malty, . The flavor was chocolate, roasty, salty, and fishy. The palate was smooth. The finish was hoppy. Rynoplasty (500), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Jan 14, 2008 Pours nearly opaque with a nice medium brown head. Aroma is kind of faint but of chocolate. Taste is roasted and chocolate malts, and has a little bit of a bitter roasty aftertaste. Not bad, but a little pricey for a single bottle. Got this one in a gift pack though. DenverLogan (421), MileHi, Colorado, USA Jan 13, 2008 Updated: Feb 11, 2008On tap at Blind Tiger and Liar’s Club. Very dark brown; long lasting brown head. Very creamy, smooth, milk chocolate. Alcohol is masked. Lovely brew I look forward to again. For a good time, add a touch of a Framboise! brewblackhole (1366), Muskego, Wisconsin, USA Jan 13, 2008 Aroma was the thinnest wisp of milk chocolate, along with some oaky malting,taste again such subtle chocolate that you have to concentrate to detect it,some roastedness and a little nougat sweetness. By itself its an ok foreign stout probaly better then Guinness Foreign Extra, but its overhyped as far as its degree of chocolateness ,as well as overpriced. Everyone at our table was disappointed ,expecting a little more punch Darkover (1308), Columbus, Ohio, USA Jan 12, 2008 Very dark brown with a big brown head. Aroma of coffee and dark chocolate. Chocolate flavor is pretty mild except for the strong dark chocolate finish. matt7215 (942), Cambridge, Ontario, Canada Jan 12, 2008 750 ml bottle from a trade with ughsmash. i was looking forward to this one ever since trading for it. pours dark brown with red edges and a medium tan head. aromas are of coffee and tin with a tiny bit of dark chocolate. flavours are a mess. thin chocolate flavours give way to a big tinny finish. very thin watery mouthfeel. hard to choke down the 750ml bottle. i dont know what went wrong but this was not a chocolate indulgence it was more like tin water dissaster. Mrthirstyneck (341), Minnesota, USA Jan 10, 2008 good beer. not as chocolately as i was hoping for. Seemed a bit like old chub. Nice balance though not too sweet, not too dry. just a good mix overall i’ll try again for sure!
