Jun 14, 2009 Bottle. Roasty chocolate aroma. Dark brown-black body, light brown head. Flavor is bittersweet chocolate, along with some chalky roastiness. Very nice that it’s not overly sweet. An enjoyable brew.

Jun 11, 2009 App - Dark, opaque pour. No light shines through. Tan head with an almost pink hue. Foam lasts for a long time...the way it should be
Smell - Good, but a little disappointing after I recently had a Long Trail Coffee Stout. Definite chocolate scent, as expected, as well as a roast feeling. Maybe my sense of smell isn’t that great, because I don’t really sense much else that’s notable
Taste - Much better than your average, but it should be, given the price. Good combination of sweet and tart, trending towards sweet. Not overpowering, sickening sweet, but definitely a sweeter beer. Not really much of a chocolate flavor though, surprisingly.
Mouthfeel - very creamy....if I didn’t know it was beer, the mouthfeel wouldn’t give it away...barely any bubbles in this one
Overall: A good beer, definitely something I would try again. Falls in the middle range of the similar brews I’ve had lately...not too disgustingly sweet, but a great balance of sweet and tart. I’d recommend it, although it’s not my favorite.

Jun 4, 2009 This smells predominantly like chocolate, slight hints of ale. It is a deep dark chocolate color with a maroon red small head. The flavor is a delicious chocolate, but not really sweet. The subtle sweetness comes from the delicious ale flavor.

May 29, 2009 Thanks to goryshkewych for this one. Pour is deep deep brown with a large tan head. Aroma is dark chocolate, coffe, smoke, booze, and a hint of tobacco. Flavor is dark chocolate, malt, a hint of coffe and a slight hoppy finish. Lingering notes dark chocolate. Creamy mouthfeel. Rich flavor.

May 23, 2009 750ml bottle poured into a tulip glass. Shared this one with Kim. OCI pours black with nice yeast residue floating about. The head is large and persistent. The body is carbonated higher than is usual for a stout and the is also a bit weaker. This beer reminds me of a Baltic porter actually. The chocolate flavors are subdued. Roasted grains are more prominent. The finish is full of hops.
