Dec 3, 2005 pub 11/20/05 Very similar to the Oompa. Chocolatey nose with more coffee/roasted malt than Oompa. Slick body. Nice balance between chewy chocolate and dry roasted malts. Intresting touch of hop in there too.

Mar 7, 2003 Way too sweet. I was unaware of that cavity until this sweet watery chocolatey drink hit my tooth. Starts with big real chocolate bar flavor, and in less than 6 ounces, turns into bad fake chocolate Necco flavor. Like mixing your watery ale with Ovaltine.

Mar 7, 2003 Chocolate pudding aroma, tastes like a gourmet devil's food cake but in a liquid, bittery form. Got some buttery flavor too. Agree with jaymobrown, its very sweet and was somewhat flat at the RAF. I'd like to have this beer about twice a year I think, anymore would just make the novelty disappear.

Mar 4, 2003 Cask, RAF '03. For some reason this beer really impresses me. It really tastes just like somebody melted a Hershey bar in your beer, but oddly, they get it to work, with a miniscule malt profile and a very acceptable mouthfeel. None of the off flavors User X described.

Mar 2, 2003 A very, very, very sweet stout. Tastes like chocolate powder ground up in a glass. A little flat with a medium finish.
