Jan 25, 2009 Picked up and sampled from 22-oz bomber from Cellar’s Wine & Spirits in St Paul, MN. Pours a near opaque dark brown brew with a thin tan head that slowly dissipates to a fine film Aroma of dark and milk chocolates, a hint of hazelnuts, caramel malt and some light vanilla. Taste is medium to full bodied, very little carbonation with flavors of mostly milk chocolate, vanilla, a hint to flowery hops and some licorice. Finish is mostly sweet chocolate with some light alcohol presence.

Jan 22, 2009 Wow, smells exactly like chocolate. This is pretty much exactly like drinking a chocalate bar, or eating a piece of chocolate cake. Amazing. It has SO much flavor, I cant see putting down more then 8oz or so. I had a 3oz sample, and it was enough. Its crazy they were able to smash that much choclate flavor into a stout. unlike any Impy made. Great stuff.

Jan 20, 2009 Pours a motor oil black with a finger width of slowly dissolving brown head. The aroma is flipping fantastic, WOW BIG BIG CHOCOLATE, just nothing but milk chocolate. This is by far the chocolatiest chocolate stout I have ever had, bar none, bittersweet tasty treat for the tongue, some light notes of vanilla and black licorice linger the background of the finish. Silky smooth mouth feel with light carbonation. Super tasty, super satisfying beer.

Jan 19, 2009 WOW This Chocolate blew my socks off. The flavor was the richest of the chocolates I have tried so far. Poured dark and thick with almost no head, but some lacing. The aroma and flavor were of large scale Chocolate action. The 11% ABV gave me a buzz during both of the Championship games Sunday. I loved it.

Jan 18, 2009 Pours a deep dark brown, almost black, with no head. Aroma of Chocolate with a touch of coffee . Taste of choclate and cofee. This is by far the most chocolate I have ever had in a Stout, or any other brew. This would be a great desert drink.

Jan 18, 2009 Updated: Aug 5, 2009BOTTLE, TAP: tap at the Happy Gnome (St. Paul, MN) on 1.17.09. Monster beer. Dark black, reddish/beige head. HUGE chocolate on the nose and on taste, but very sweet. Not a session beer because its so sweet, but one pint is very memorable.

Jan 17, 2009 650ml bottle poured into an English pint, shared with Bill. STC pours black with a smallish tan head that leaves a very thin soapy lacing. This beer smells like chocolate cocoa with a faint hint of vanilla. The alcohol aroma is totally hidden, which is rather amazing considering the 11% ABV. The body is pretty thick and chewy. The taste is very much like chocolate milk with a faint hint of hop balance and carbonation. This is by far the most chocolaty beer I have ever had. This is an interesting beer but not a daily indulgence. This would make a good float and fit in perfectly at you local chocolate-themed pub.
