Poured a rich dark brown with a thin lacing head.Lots of chocolate on the nose.The flavor had chocolate and cocoa.Finish was slightly dry.

750 ml bottle-Poured out almost cola looking,with a decent size,tan head.Aromas were the usual in a chocolate stout,coffee,malt and cocoa.I felt this was a little thin in body,but I did have nice lacing on my glass.Not bad,may need to try on draft.

Draft at Tria in Philly: dark brown with a thick frothy head, aroma of chocolate, coffee and malt, flavor of chocolate and malt with with a nice dry finish. Very good beer - glad I got to try this one.

750ml bottle. I actually missed this at the BCTC festival this year because I was busy falling out of chairs and annoying people I didn’t know back at camp. So it’s pretty cool that it’s out now and I get a chance to try it, even if people weren’t too impressed at the festival. Nose is pretty much straight cocoa and mocha, which is quite nice, and maybe there’s a little bit of ash in there as well. Low carbonation, which isn’t much of a problem, and the first taste is a little sweet. There’s a good amount of milk chocolate and cocoa in there, for sure, but also some "bottle" flavors - sort of a glass and plastic flavor, if that makes any sense. Mild and subtle, it’s fresh and lightly sweet, not heavy in any way. I enjoyed it.

Poured a dark brown with a foamy tan head. Has hints of chocolate, coffee, roasted malts, and little spice. Finishes medium bodied with a nice carbonation on the palate.

This poured black with a medium sized foamy tan head. The aroma was of sweet milk chocolate, dark malts, cream, and a hint of roast in there as well. The taste was similar with some dark chocolate coming through with a mild roasted flavor to go along with the creamy sweet chocolate. It was medium bodied with a nice creamy texture that went down smooth. It had a nice taste of cocoa powder and cream left behind. This was my first of this style, and I enjoyed this one. I’m glad to see Ommegang try new stuff.

Pours dark brown, with a light brown head. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate, and a little coffee. Flavor is chocolate, roasted malt, and coffee. Medium body. A bit more alcohol would help, but it’s still pretty good.

Poured a hazy deep brown color with a tan head. Really nice smooth milk chocolate and roasted coffee aroma. The flavor was more roast than chocolate but still a decent of cocoa in it. Hint of tartness. Medium body with an almost creamy mouthfeel.

Pours black, with a medium, foamy, light brown head. Smnells of creamy milk chocolate, dark malts, and some mild roast as well. The flavor has more bitter dark chocolate than milk chocolate. The roast is fairly mild, with the dark maltiness taking a step forward giving it a creamier texture. The finish has some cocoa powder and chocolate cream flavors that help it go down smoothly. Pretty good brew, nice to see these guys trying new styles.

Pours blackish red with a big thick off white head. Nice dry chocolate malt aroma. Taste is very light, chocolaty with a hint of cherry. Mouthful is very balanced and leaves a nice dry aftertaste. Really good.
