Nov 27, 2008 750ml Bottle: Aroma of chocolate, malts, light roasting, and milk. Poured dark brown with a hint of ruby in color and a medium to large-sized beige head that dissipated into a small film. Clear. Not sparkling. Flavor is light to medium sweet. Tastes of chocolate, malts, light roasting, Hershey’s syrup, and milk. Medium body. Smooth, thick, creamy texture. Average carbonation. Roasted malt and chocolate finish coats the mouth.

Nov 27, 2008 (1 pt. 9.4 oz. bottle from Lou’s Beverage Barn) Pours very dark birch beer brown. Three fingers of light brownish-biege head. Cocoa-chocolatey aroma, but more like actual chocolate than chocolate malt aroma found in something like a stout or porter. Mouthfeel is quite smooth and almost silky but the texture is also a bit thin. Flavor of real chocolate - semisweet and cocoa. Not overboard on the chocolate but there really is little else in the flavor profile. Pretty solid, unique beer but definitely one-dimensional.

Nov 27, 2008 750 mL bottle courtesy of Alraomon. Thanks Sean! Pours a very dark brown color with a large head. Aroma of cocoa, dark fruits and hops. Taste is cocoa and dark fruits. Slightly thin body. Taste
wise, this is a poor man’s Choklat. But at $15.99 a bottle, this really isn’t a poor man’s anything.

Nov 26, 2008 From bottle. Pours brown with decent dark tan head. Aromas of chocolate and malt. Flavors include light chocolate and toffee. Smooth but thin body. Pretty bottle but not worth the $13-15 price tag.

Nov 20, 2008 Nice bottle, be cool to commit a crime with it. Pours a dark brown with very minimal tan head. Moderate carbonation. Didn’t pour nearly as thick as I had expected. Aroma is of malt, cocoa, and caramel. Very underwhelming aroma. Taste is very weak. Taste of chocolate, malt, and vanilla. Everything is very mild in taste. Mouthfeel is very watery, yet sticky. Not as much malt flavor as anticipated. It’s pretty much watery chocolate milk. Not worth the high price tag.

Nov 20, 2008 Pours a dark brown, with a very light tan head. I suggest giving it a couple of minutes to warm as this allows the chocolate flavor to come through better.

Nov 20, 2008 Sampled from a beautiful 25.4 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black-brown color with a trace of a khaki head. The aroma was bitter cocoa. The flavor was bittersweet chocolate syrup with a hint of licorice and a medium length cocoa finish. The mouthfeel was moderately thick and silky smooth.
