Jan 11, 2009 Yes. I loved this. It had a rich, velvety chocolate flavor. Smooth, easily drinkable. Very dark with a light tan head. Smelled of chocolate ice cream, coffee, and walnuts. Thick mouthfeel -- almost like a shake, but dry. Chocolate through and through. Roasted barley, malts as well. I almost gulped this down because it was so good. Wish I had one for breakfast.

Jan 11, 2009 Jet black with a minimal deep tan head and next to no lacing alerting me to the lack of carbonation that will enhance the enjoyability... Aroma is the closest that any beer will ever come to smelling like chocolate milk... Taste of milk chocolate with a sweetness that could not possibly overwhelm the flavor... Finishes with a bit of bitterness that cuts the sweetness to ready you for your next sip... Full bodied, sticky, creamy, thick, but none in a bad way... What a wonderful beer!!!!

Jan 11, 2009 On tap at Ginger Man in NYC!
A- Dark brown hue, tan creamy head dissipates, moderate lacing
S- Rich, sweet milk chocolate, hints of marshmallow and brown sugar, smells like an amazing cup of cocoa
T- Taste follows aroma, sweet chocolate malts dominate, some roast and bitter hops in the middle, finishes sweet and dry with a hint of alcohol, absolutely delicious for this style
M- Medium/full-bodied, smooth and creamy texture, mild carbonation
D- Wow, this is the tastiest and most balanced chocolate stout I’ve ever drank, a nice bitterness rounds out the sweet malts, the alcohol is barely detectable even at 11%, this is like having desert, and as such, probably best in smaller quantities

Jan 10, 2009 WOW!!!!!!!! a thick opaque dark chocolate brown with thin tan head. Aroma is malt, vanilla bean and thick, rich dark chocolate. It’s pure creamy, delicious, chocolate that masks the alcohol. Seriously, the flavor is amazing. It is a dark chocolate milk with ice cream and vanilla bean. Body is creamy with light carbonation. DELICIOUS!

Jan 10, 2009 Like drinking a liquid dark chocolate bar. Hints of coffee. The alcohol is nicely hidden.....as long as you don’t drink more than one!

Jan 9, 2009 Pour is dark brown with a tan head, minimal lacing. Aroma is big chocolate, light booze, faint fruit, malt. About as good as it gets. Taste is relatively one dimensional, heavy chocolate. Malt and booze also make an appearance. Mouth is full and creamy. Finish is very smooth and a little warming. Overall a solid stout. Not something I could drink too often, but nice on occasion.

Jan 9, 2009 This one is way over the top with chocolate. Pours a thick jet black with a brown head that fades relatively quickly. The nost is straight hersheys chocolate. I am not sure it even tastes like beer. This would be great for someone who disliked chocolate stouts and you wanted to try and hook them on it , because it is pure chocolate. This is definately not my favorite, and I think the oatmeal is much better.
