Mar 5, 2008 This beer is really all about the chocolate. Dark beer with only points of light when held up against a light source. The nose is like chocolate frosting. Flavors of Hershey syrup, cocoa powder, chocolate frosting and some vanilla. This is really a one dimensional beer, but if you like chocolate, you should like this beer.

Mar 4, 2008 Pours a dark chocolate brown with a coffee colored head. Aroma is all chocolate, cocoa and roasted malt. Flavor is once again dominated by chocolate. Creamy milk and dark chocolate mixed with caramel, candi sugar, pure cocoa and brown sugar. Excellent beer!

Mar 3, 2008 Appropriately, this one pours a deep, dark chocolate brown. A small swirly film with a bubbly edge is all that shows for a head. The aroma is a pure blend of bitter dark and sweet milk chocolates, dry cocoa powder, and even more chocolate. The flavor expands the chocolaty horizon, as caramel malts and dry woodsy notes do little to steer this one off of its course. Willy Wonka himself must have been involved in the development of this brew. Smooth and medium-full bodied, a touch of dryness shows up at the very end. Awesome brew. As pure and chocolaty as they come.

Mar 3, 2008 Thanks to whomever shared this at the 3rd Woodshop tasting. An IS for the chocolate fan, count me in. This one does it right, balance is right on, a real dessert delight.

Mar 3, 2008 22 oz. bottle, courtesy of slob - thanks man! Pours thick and ebony color, opaque with a very thin head that dissipates to nothing in a short time. Aroma of chocolate syrup, roasty malts, espresson beans, molasses and hints of ripe cherry. Flavor is heavy with chocolate - bakers chocolate, hersheys cocoa powder, rich fudge - dark bitter roasty malts, dark brown sugar with alcohol present but well hidden. Full body and little to no carbonation. Delicious for a chocolate lover like me!

Mar 2, 2008 Courtesy of silphium. Black body with a small tan head, fading. The nose is moderately sweet with lots of chocolate, light roast and molasses. The flavor is sickeningly sweet, lightly bitter with gross amounts of chocolate, some roast and light licorice. Full body is sticky with moderate carbonation.

Mar 1, 2008 Douglas88 shared this bottle with his wife and me. You could smell choklat the second the cap came off. But like great chocolate. The kind that Oprah appears to have been eating all her life.
This was a real treat to hold and take the occasional sniff of, really, a very lovely nose if you are indeed a chocolate fan. Downside? Thin and very onesided for an Imperial Stout as it was only choklat.

Mar 1, 2008 Courtesy of Gillard, thanks buddy. Pours dark with dark tan head and spotty lacing. Wow. Nice rich chocolate aroma. Lots of milk chocolate mixed with malt balls. No sense of fruity esters or alcohol of any kind. Amazing considering the ABV. Taste is just like I was expecting from the aroma with creamy rich mild chocolate to start with ribbons of dark chocolate. I also get malt balls drizzled with vanilla and bits of licorice. Riding in the back is highly roasted malts that grow more and more roasty until they taste pretty much burnt and charred into the finish. The after taste makes me think I just had a rich chocolate cake. Another very nice offering from these fine people.
