Tastes like donuts yeah but the body is a bit on the thin side. I get some nuts in there too. Tasty and I like the experimentation but nothing too special to see here.

Bottle shared by pepsican. Thanks. Poured a dark brown color. Nearly opaque. Head was light brown. Aroma was of chocolate and lightly roasted malt. There was also a slight sour dark fruit note. Body was on the thin side. Slightly sweet on the tongue. It tasted more like a chocolate pretzel than a donut. There was also a bit of white paper.

Thanks for sharing pepsican. The body was cloudy brown with a very light brown head. The aroma is chocolate donuts with some walnuts. The taste has some milk chocolate and frosting. There is also a little bit of walnuts. A decent stout, but it doesn’t quite work.

Bottle courtesy of lb4lb. Pours dark brown with a creamy tan head. Smells of chocolate, caramel and doughy. Tastes tangy with some decent chocolatey hints and some tartness on the back end. Lots of spice is present as well as touches of dark fruit.

Bottles from lb4lb and yjb. Pour is mahogany with a large off white head. Aroma is decent...chocolate donuts. Flavor is weak chocolate and has a strange metallic note. Body is thin.

Tasted at PP bottle shop. Tim brought a bottle. Roasty smell. Some chocolate icing smell at a low level. Pretty interesting aroma. Not as strong as a real donut. Quickly fading small bubble head. Dry flavor, which kills the chocolate donut impression I was hoping for.

A darkish brown with a thinnish tan even small head. Donuts? Chocolatey creamy like ST Choklat. Not a ton of character. small dark malt. Tootsie Roll? Low carbonation, low viscosity, average mouthfeel. Sweet, very! Tastes like watered down ST Choklat. A bit of fruit. Rather empty. Creamy. A small fruit roast in there, okay.

Bottle from kmweaver. Pours black with a nice tan head. Aroma of sweet chocolate--but fake smelling with a little bit of a tangy smell. The taste is a very tangy chocolate that hits the back of your tongue with a weird flavor. I don’t get any donut or glaze really. Maybe I’m missing something, but this one was a miss for me.
