600ml Bottle shared with Pirozoid and French Tickler. Black appearance with a medium brown creamy bubblely head. Aroma: nice smell of fudge at fist nose followed with vanilla, chocolate syrup, cream and light alcohol. Flavor: chocolate syrup, alcohol, cream, vanilla. Palate: full body, soft carbonation, silky creamy with chocolate syrup alcihol finish.

Dégusté avec Agaguk et Pyrozoid. Apparence noir tres foncé, mousse brune collante. Aromes de chocolat INTENSE, en fait je dirais précisément un gateau foret noir, cerises, tootsie rolls... Wow! Corps incroyablement crémeux et tres bien balancé. Légere sensation d’alcool au palait egalement. Gout intense de lait au chocolat, gateau foret noir reviens encore, cerise noir, creme glacé au chocolat, chocolat noir...

Thanks to MrChopin for this beer. Pours a deep blackish brown with a mocha head. Nose of chocolate cake and roasted malts. Flavor is sweet chocolate with a roasty flavor...very, very chocolaty...very much a dessert beer. Loved it.

On tap at The Irish Pol in Philly... Incredible aroma of rich chocolate up front. Alcohol is picked up slightly after you get through the heavy chocolate syrup flavor. Great dessert beer.

Somewhat fluffy head, a milk froth of mocha over a deep black/brown body. Super-rich chocolate cake aroma with moderate roasted notes close behind. Sweet cocoa/syrup comes through strong in the flavor with a healthy (yet smooth) alcohol kicker. Only mild roasted bitterness in the finish, which is otherwise a lengthy & decadent chocolate indulgence. An ultimate "Dessert Beer" bar none. ~~~~~~~~ From an old notebook, unknown review date.

Bottle. Good, but not to the point where you’d smack your granny. Black in color with minimal head. Aroma is tootsie roll all the way. Flavor is more tootsie roll with a little roasted malt. Fairly simple, but good. The chocolate could be a little better quality, but overall I’m not complaining. Smooth and creamy on the palate.

Rather fun but extremely simple tasting beer. Aroma is inviting chocolate, the taste is all chocolate, the aftertaste is chocolate with light roast and warming alcohol. The medium body makes it fairly drinkable still but overall it’s sweet and simple. Still, a good beer for a certain occasion, not sure what kind of occasion but one.. Maybe splitting a bomber on ten people as a dessert beer maybe..

22oz bottle. Dark brown, bordering on black in the glass, with a small, dissipating head. The aroma is super-sweet caramel and chocolate syrup in a dead-on Hershey’s impression; add on some marzipan and hazelnut. That in itself is interesting to say the least. The flavor is shockingly sweet chocolate syrup, light roasted malt husk, and smooth alcohol. The body is full and sticky, with low carbonation. In all honesty, this was interesting in how well it impersonated Hersheys syrup, but it did not make for a good beer; no complexity or anything nearing balance, just all sweet sugary alcoholic syrup. Definitely couldn’t finish a bomber of this. Rerate: Interesting experiment: I had half a bomber of this left last night, even after having two of my roommates take a shot at it as well, so I froze it overnight. This evening I partially thawed it and poured off the flat, concentrated remains. Holy chocolate liqueur! You could make a mean choco-tini with this stuff. I would have, but I seem to have misplaced my chocolate vodka as well as already pouring this down the drain. Maybe I could have made chocolate pudding with this?
