Pours pure black. I see no light or color coming through. The head is almost three fingers and looks somewhat soapy. Big bubbles popping and leave a nice lacing on my Guinness tulip pint glass. Smell is pure hershey’s syrup. Good grief this smells delicious. Dive in deeper and i get some major hops hidden initially by the chocolate. Some floral notes. This beer is pretty much chocolate hops. Lot’s of chocolate sweetness as one would expect but the finish is nice a bitter and hoppy. The hops balance it out nicely or the chocolate might be too out of control. Smooth and silky. Nice mouthfeel just a bit of carbonation present. I would call this medium to heavy bodied. Drinkability is good. Slightly heavy so i could only drink one bomber. But it is delicious and great for dessert. Overall this is a really good beer and a really good chocolate. I really dont have any other chocolate stouts to compare it to. I would recommend this one definitely.

Pours very dark with thick creamy head. Aroma has hints of a smoky cigar that is prevelant in the palate. Taste holds obvious caramel and earthy flavors. Chocolate is primary character in the palate.

Bomber. Pours syrupy and black as night with an inch of light brown creamy head. Aroma is bitter chocolate and roasted malt. Mouthful begins with rich, creamy dark chocolate followed by vanilla, coffee and roasted malts. It finishes dry and slightly smoky with a bittersweet chocolate aftertaste. This Stout has a wonderful balance of sweetness and bitterness and bold chocolate flavors that assert themselves from beginning to end.

Yum. Bury your nose in your glass and smell the delicious notes of roasted chocolate malts...and that’s just getting started! A nice foamy head and rich, dark color are very pleasing. The taste of Rogue Chocolate Stout starts very smooth with flavors of rich chocolate, toasty malts, and rolled oats-- very reminiscent of a chocolate breakfast cereal. The finish includes hops which leave a bittersweet taste in your mouth; diagnosis, another sip of this tasty beer...you know, just so you can clear your palate :)

Pours thick black with tan head, aroma is full of chocolate. Taste up front is a bit of sweet moving into thick chocolate with some bitterness at the end. Excellent showing, like choklat toned down!

I have not been the biggest fan of some chocolate- and coffee-flavored beers, but this one really nails the balance of flavors, never tastes artificial and still has a sweet, dessert-like flavor. The beer smells like expensive cocoa powder mixed with cacao nibs and a dash of roasted coffee beans. The flavor is wonderful. The chocolate is perfectly used. The beer isn’t too sweet or too chocolatey. There are good mineral and earthy hop notes. The malt backbone is big and strong. It’s an enormous flavor for a stout that clocks in at a mere 6% abv, a trifling amount compared to some of the Imperial versions. The lush, creamy feel is the finishing touch.

Deep dark brown pour, creamy coffee head. Strong dark chocolate aroma, some hops and spices. Thin but strong chocolate flavour with some hops and something earthy.

Pours a dark espresso brown with a tan-tinged head. Aroma is very chocolatey with earthy pine notes. Flavor is very hoppy with chocolate bite. Body is fairly light with high carbonation.
