Feb 27, 2008 Updated: Jul 2, 2009Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Almost black, no head. Powerful chocolate sauce aroma with a touch of vanilla. Very sweet and extremely syrupy with hard metallic, yet sticky mouthfeel. Flavour is chocolate sauce, chocolate sauce and chocolate sauce. It’s near full bodied, but with the most simplistic body you can imagine. Finishes with more chocolate sauce. I’ve tasted beers before that I could imagine would go well with vanilla ice-cream, but this is the first that requires it. Probably the most one-dimensional 11% beer ever made. Oh well, Souther Tier is constantly putting out this type of gimmicky underwhelming big beers. To me they are the most overrated brewer on Ratebeer, and this is their most overrated beer. A nip of this would be fine - it’d be like a cheap, sticky chocolate brandy. A bomber is way out - something I’d never dream of finishing.

Jan 5, 2008 (growler) Black body topped by a small tan head. Aroma is moderately sweet, chocolate -- both milk and bittersweet, some Tootsie Roll. Taste is moderately sweet, dark and milk chocolate, light lactic sourness, alcohol. Medium-full body, alcohol VERY well hidden. Not a chocolate stout as much as it is a chocolate beer. Comparable to Svaneke Choko Stout in its chocolateyness, though of course it has almost twice the alcohol. Same caveat applies -- if this type of beer appeals to you, you’ll love it, but if not....
