Dragon99 (57), Laramie, Wyoming, USA Nov 9, 2001 Very smooth, dark stout. Very chocolately. Hotspur2001 (43), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 11, 2005 Updated: Aug 1, 2005My #1. Chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate. For the English among us, this tastes like Smarties (not the smarties that Americans know). Wonderful chocolate aroma, chocolate taste all the way through. The most chocolatey beer out there. DeadGuyFrank (326), http://westchesterbeer.com, USA Dec 17, 2006 The definitive chocolate beer!! If you like Shakespeare Stout, then you will LOVE this GreatLibations (1252), Sasquatcho, Arizona, USA Jan 4, 2007 Pours black w/ a full, semi creamy froth that recedes slowly to reveal a full canopy w/ dense brewers lace. Nice retention. Aromas of sweet maple and cocoa. I can’t believe this is beer. Impressive. Full nectar w/ ample residual effers creating somewhat of a velvety texture. Decadent roasted malts and bakers cocoa. Huge chocolate essense. A little citrus shines through as it warms. Nice balancing hop componant. Finish has precision bittering to a pin point w/ velvety hops. This brew is amazing. I’m not a fan of the chocolate thing but I really appreciate this specimen. I was able to drink the whole 22ozzies. It blows away Sam Adams C.B. and murders Youngs w/ a pitchfork. I highly recommend this to all you chocolate lovers. Overall: this brew hits all the factors I use to score a brew right between the eyes. It deserves the current score. orville (137), Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, USA Nov 9, 2006 Updated: Dec 7, 2007Get ripped on real Chocolate! If you like beer and chocolate than it just doesn’t get any better. What a great stout from rogue; way better than the shakespeare. I’m not sure what i like more, the taste, or looking at the hunks of floating chocolate?
