Jan 5, 2009 Dark, but clear body with a quickly diminishing head. Malty aromas with a slight hint of chocolate. Good aroma, but it is not that strong. Excellent nose, with a chocolate sweetness followed by a clean tasting malt profile. The finish is pretty bland as the beer has little stickiness, which is also noticeable by a lackluster lacing on the glass. Also, the carbonation is a bit high as the acidic tone is present in the aftertaste. This is a pretty good beer, but there are better chocolate beers out there. They need to work on the finish and amp up the aroma a bit; this beer just doesn’t have a strong enough character to warrant being this highly rated. I’m guessing its because people don’t want to rate a $13 beer too low, or they will look stupid for buying it in the first place. Interestingly enough, I bought this bottle in an Albertson’s in Louisiana, so the note at the end of the description is obviously wrong.

Jan 5, 2009 Bottle: Poured a nice almost black, dark brown color. The aroma was roasted malts. The flavor was smooth, chocolate malts. The aftertaste was like chocolate milk. One of my favorites.

Jan 5, 2009 Updated: Jan 8, 2009(bottle) Black body with very little head. The aroma is strongly sweet with some bitter notes - strongly chocolate, slightly fruity, sour. Flavor is also very sweet and very chocolaty. I like tart flavors but this "tart" tends more toward sour milk to me, so I’m not sure if I like that. The alcohol is also perceptible.

Jan 3, 2009 Poured black with a thick tan head. Malt and cocoa aroma. Taste was the expected malt and cocoa some dark fruit with a hint of coffee. Much thinner than I expected and not really all that chocolately.

Jan 2, 2009 Bottle. Pours very dark brown with a sizeable head that stays around. Little lacing. Malt and chocolate aroma. Chocolate in the mouth too. I was not too enthused with this at all. Pretty boring. Its in the 85-percentile, so am I missing something?

Jan 2, 2009 Bottle, courtesy of me actually. Dark brown with a medium sized light brown head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt, and more chocolate. Flavor of a blend of chocolates, fruit, earth and nuts. Extremely rich flavor, which seemed to decrease somewhat in quality with more tastings. Palate was on the thin side, and close to watery. Pretty good stuff here, in moderation.
