Perhaps the most chocolaty of all the chocolate stouts I have tried. Very well done. I’m not sure which one I like better, this or the slightly less sweet, more bitter Southern Tier Jah-va.
Update 5/1/08: Knocking it down a couple points after another tasting due to the extreme sweetness. May be too much chocolate flavor for it’s own good. JFGrind (1350), Glenside, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Apr 26, 2009 I cellared a bottle of Choklat since Christmas, opened while homebrewing. Dark chocolate leaps out the entire time drinking this Imperial Stout. Smooth, silky seamless blend hop & chocolate bitterness. I took my time consuming the bomber of Choklat, and it was delicious. cprochak (393), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Apr 25, 2009 Bottle from Malt & Vine. Pours a nice dark black with good head. A bit thick, but the amazing chocolate taste with hints of vanilla reminds me of a tootsie roll. Alcohol is hidden well. Definitely an incredible stout. MatSciGuy (630), Rosemount, Minnesota, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Apr 24, 2009 [Bottle] Pours deep brown with a scant tan head. Aroma initially is nice - smells like a hershey kiss, however, as it develops, a stomach curdling fake chocolate covered berry aroma comes out with some phenols that just smell like a liquid hangover. Flavor is pretty much the same, some powdery cocoa flavors, some berry flavors, tons of just disgusting residual sugars that make me hesitate to have any more so I don’t get a fuckin hangover. Just a horribly done beer. I don’t understand how people can enjoy this. I understand that it’s intended to be a sipping beer, but I don’t understand who would ever want to sip this beer. Medium mouthfeel. robforbes (1085), Bremerton, Washington, USA

smell of mocha, coffee, some vanilla, dark chocolate, and a touch of roasted nuts.
taste is creamy, dark and milk chocolate, and some nuts, ends creamy and a touch of bitter. LyndaNova (493), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Apr 21, 2009 Cold 22oz bottle: Pours a dark brown color with ruby highlights and a thin, tan head. Aroma is of chocolate cherry cordial candy with some alcohol notes. Taste is of rich, dark malts, dark chocolate and dark fruits, well blended with subtle, grassy hops. Ending is of bittersweet dark chocolate. Medium to full bodied and smooth, with ample carbonation. VERY NICE!! Volgon (2488), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA

Full bodied with a sticky mouthfeel and mild carbonation. Alcohol is well hidden. Nuffield (2720), Roseville, Minnesota, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 19, 2009 Yes, this was very good. I shared a bottle of this with neighbors sitting around my backyard firepit on the first warm day in April. Lovely smoke...from the fire. Rich chocolate flavor of very good dry, bitter chocolate, with low abv and good palate. I didn’t want too much of this, however. Great flavor, but too rich for a whole bomber by myself, for sure.
