Holy Chocolate Batman! This is an amazing. There is almost too much chocolate flavor going on...if that is even possible. The aroma is of...you guessed it, Chocolate! The taste: ALL chocolate! Drinking this baby in a pint glass from a cold 22oz bottle. Personally I think it is best once it warms a bit to about 10 deg bellow room temp....I frig’ing love this beer!

UPDATED: JAN 27, 2012 3/2011 - A lovely beer that I look forward to coming out every year. A very good bottle but the draft is truly incredible. Like drinking alcoholic Hershey’s syrup but in a good way. Despite my dedication to variety this is one of the few beers I will order back to back. ++++Sampled on draft at D’s in Regent Square this beer poured thick and black with a small brown head. The aroma was incredibly strong sweet chocolate syrup. The flavor was a marvelous blend of chocolate syrup, toasty malts, a touch of molasses and a hint of port wine. The finish was long sweet dark chocolate. Beergasm!

UPDATED: JUN 18, 2008 Bomber bottle...sooo dark brown that appears black...dark brown sugar head...the aroma takes my breath away, pure dark chocolate, and very much like a malted milk ball (whopper)...heaven has entered my nostrils, if heaven does exists its in the form of this inhale...can barely get away from the aroma to take a sip....damn. its a liquid dark chocolate bar...some solid malt to back up this phenomenon...its like a chocolate milkshake with added chunks of chocolate, just delicious...and the palate is simply luscious, glass has taken on some nice lacing as well...I could bathe in this beer, or create a lake with chocolate fishes and candy eels...:)

Im not sure how one could make a better chocolate beer. This was perfect. The chocolate aroma, the strong chocolate flavor, and the rich palate makes this beer perfect. I have tried many chocolate beers before and none have come close to being as good as this.

had this at brannigan brothers in downtown lansing. when it was opened, the room filled with the smell of chocolate. thick and rich, this was like drinking liquid chocolate. i really can’t say anything bad about this one. as it sat and warmed up, the richness improved, it was truly a wonderful stout.

AMAZING. Desert beer at it’s finest! What an amazing beer. Thick black beer with an amazing chocolate smell. First sip is strong chocolate and coffee. Thick and rich. Finishes with a nice hoppy note - which I really like. I’m really into Black IPAs and Imperial Stouts and this is about as good as it gets! Highly recommended!

My 500th beer rated on RateBeer.com
I bought this specifically for this occasion, knowing it would be something special. Not only is it my 500th beer, but it is also my very first "perfect score". (I did not plan on this either, fate has truly taken its course)
The top three words that could ever appear in the title of a beer are all included in this one: "IMPERIAL" "CHOCOLATE" "STOUT".
The bottle I bought is even better because it is 11% alcohol, compared to the advertised 9.5%. It also comes in a giant bottle, equivalent to 3 regular beers.
It seems that all is right in my world tonight, CHEERS! :)

Wow. I don’t know what to say but wow. This is absolutely amazing. I love chocolate and I love beer. And this is the best of both worlds. If Ghirardelli were to make a beer, this would be it. Absolutely fantastic.
