Nov 19, 2008 Bottle split with my co-workers. Pours a rich chestnut brown with good light brown head. Butternut squash aromas with light chocolate and vegetal. Flavors of milky chocolate, lightly bitter, but prevelently sweet finish. Smooth chewy body. Extremely overpriced, but does make a cool gift. I’d drink it again if I didn’t have to pay for it.

Nov 18, 2008 Pours with a creamy light brown head that sticks to the sides of the glass in a lacing of huge blotches and lines. Dark brown hued body with reddish highlights (around 28 SRM). Aroma of good quality chocolate, some banana esters and a bit of wheat, and caramel malt. Taste is chocolatey with wheat, caramel and light fruity esteres. Creamy mouthfeel, with light carbonation. Nothing too special, I would not purchase again for $15...

Nov 17, 2008 Bottle from S&K Beverage in Plano, TX. Pours a nice clear dark brown, red hues, tan head. Nice aroma of chocolate. Flavor is good, chocolate & dark roast, not very strong though, no real hint of alcohol that I was hoping for. Light-med. body with med-high carbonation. Overall, I wish they made this as a stronger brew. Id nicely balanced though, nothing overpowering. Tasty. I think I paid toooo much though. $15.99.

Oct 26, 2008 Tasted from botle, at ’’Salone del Gusto’’, Torino. I’d say I enjoyed it more than most of the other raters. Dark brown, almost black with a pleasant dark tan head, creamy and thick. Clean cocoa and chocolate aroma, with hints of roasted malts. I’m not fond of chocolate beers because they usually pall me and even nauseate me. But this has a pleasant cocoa flavor, less complex and not wearing at all; an unexpected watery body brings out the cocoa and make the beer drinkable. The rosted bitterness matches the choco- sweetnes.

Jul 5, 2008 Dark brown with a creamy brown head, little lacing. Strong powdered cocoa smell, but wasn’t very impressive to me. Taste tasted like chalky powdered cocoa; someone else mentioned floury and a bit buttery, I’d have to agree. Light bodied, highly carbonated, pretty much the opposite of what I think would have paired good with this. Drinkability is low as I didn’t even finish my portion of my glass. Glad the bottle was shared, would have been upset to have paid all 16 bucks to pour the rest down the drain. Overall, I think this might be right up some people’s alley, so don’t let my dislike discourage you. Probably worth a try, but I won’t be buying it again. A not so good beer from a normally solid brewery.

Jul 3, 2008 A sweet chocolate syrupy aroma. Flavor has nice chocolate notes that start to coat the mouth. Finish is a bit too thick but this is okay overall.
