Had one of these and thought it was quite different. strong chocolate/ coco taste. would make a great desert beer.

This is mighty tasty stuff. THe aroma is reminiscent of dark chocolate and the taste is the same. A lot of dark beers get their chocalate taste more from chocolate malts, rather than chocolate. This one has both shining through. Recommended to all.

UPDATED: OCT 6, 2004 Ooooooh. I got this beer free, as the "beer guy" at the store said it was "too old to sell". Riiiiight. I need to buy beer that's too old more often. Lovely, lovely stuff. Deep and dark color, with a firm, thick chocolate milk-colored head that lasts for a looooong time. Nose is amazing--could smell the chocolate from several feet away. Just fills the head with rich coffee, with little hints of toffee and caramel. Flavor is lovely. Tastes like a huge, thick chocolate malted that's had rich roasts added to it. Was pleasantly surprised by the hoppiness of the finish. Great mouthfeel, very reminscent of (not surprisingly) chocolate milk--it's smooth and refreshing, and thoroughly coats your mouth and tongue. This reminds me of some sort of stout-on-stout black-and-tan combo thing, maybe a black-and-deep brown. Tastes to me like somebody mixed the luscious chocolate of Young's Double Chocolate Stout with the rich roasts and massive hop finish of Storm King. A heck of a brew.

One word...chocolate. What a wonderful beer. Even people who don’t typically enjoy stouts will probably like this one. Another great Rogue product. Keep up the good work guys.

nice rich stout.vcery dark and builds a nice sustained beige head. aroma of chocolate, coffee and malts. the taste is rich and complex , lots of bitterswet chocolate and dark roast malt tastes with enough hops to balance. creamy thick palate. a great brew from Rogue.

Typical Rogue experiment - they always seem to go a little overboard. Good for them. No ’subtle’ chocolate flavors here, you get it in all levels, from the aroma to the aftertaste. Very good.

UPDATED: FEB 4, 2004 Dark black, creamy head, roasted chocolate, silky creamy, with a nice hop finish, every bit as good as Youngs if not better.

What an incredible stout. Delicious creamy chocolate truffle flavor just like it says on the label. I wish I could find this one in a sixer.

Smooth and subtle chocolate that lasts and lasts and lasts. The aroma is wonderful. A great beer but not a top stout.

Mmm. Yummy. Chocolate Stout. Must I say more?
