pours very dark, almost black, creamy caramel head, amazing chocolate aroma but faint chocolate flavor, more roasty notes and some coffee come through, slightly bitter finish... would prefer a stronger chocolate flavor to match the intense chocolate aroma

Pour dark brown, almost black, with a small creamy tan head. Aroma has plenty of chocolate on the nose. Really delicious. On the palate though, not much chocolate is present. Slight coffee and roasted malts. Taste is a little bitter, with slight chocolate - sweetness. Watery body, with a semi-flat carb. Would have loved to get some more weight into this one.

One of my favorite stouts. Chocolate flavor is amazing. It's a little thin for a stout and not very complex but it's still a solid stout. Would love to see a barrel aged type offering of this. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

On tap at Rose Alley. Pours black with a thick caramel colored head. Aroma is of chocolate, cocoa, and malts. Flavor is of malts, chocolate, and it’s quite roasty. Leaves a nice lacing. Leaves a roasty chocolate malt finish.

great black color, light brown head...nice mocha aroma...peppery, coffee grounds, malts... bitter aftertaste lingers on the tounge. Gotta agree, the longer it sits out the better the aroma..

i was very intrigued about this beer and it didnt disappoint. This was my first chocolate stout and I was overwhelmed by the amount of dark chocolate flavour flowing through the beer. As it got warmer the chocolate aroma began to become more and more evident. Was incredible. Very smooth taste not too bitter or hoppy at all. Definitely leave out of the fridge for 15 mins prior to drinking to enjoy the dark chocolate aroma. Must have very impressed!!!

Yep- this is exactly what it says it is. Black with a fluffy tan head. Dark chocolate nose, and a richer chocolate palate. Higher carbonation than one might expect, but rich and high in "yummy". Long finish.

Originally reviewed: 5/28/09. Pours a thick deep black with a wicked huge tan head on top. 10 minutes later, still there. Great retention. Beautiful lacing rings all over the glass. Nice historical reference of my sipping. Smells of powdered chocolate, cream, and more chocolate. Mouthfeel is creamy, but a little on the spritzy side as well. This is the weakest aspect of this beer. Big chocolatey flavor all over this! They weren’t kidding on the chocolate thing, were they? There’s a touch of hop bitterness mixed in the middle, but the finish is the most pleasant mild cocoa flavor I’ve experienced. Wonderful. Wow. Why did I wait so long to pick this one up? This will be a regular dessert, celebration beer in the household from here on out...

Bottle. Pours is black with a brown head, good lace/retention. Aroma of semi-sweet chocolate, coffee, roast, vanilla. Taste is very dry, chocolate, coffee, earth, light roast, light vanilla. Palate is soft, slightly chalky, roasty finish. Good but not great.

Chocolate aroma. Taste of chocolate, oak, leather, malt, hops. As I pull my nose away I smell smoke. So much going on at once and such a smooth beer. I paid £7.95 for a bottle and it is worth it. If you get a chance to try then don’t give this a miss.
