4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Black liquid with a small mocha head. Aroma of sweet chocolate and roasted barley. Taste is sweet as hell, and you can feel both the sweetness from the chocolate and the bitterness from the coffee. One of the best ones I’ve had in a good while!

This is a delicious beer. Smells very nice, looks and pours great. Big mocha flavour and also a bit boozy. One of the best stouts I’ve had. I recommend this one.

Pours a rather thin dark brown. Quickly fading off white head. Aromas are awesome: vanilla and milk chocolate. Nice sweet chocolate flavours with black coffee and vanilla. Thin and carbonated. I totally get the whole cafe mocha concept. But some of the flavours just seem a bit too artificial. Fairly weak finish. It’s good, and imaginitive, but at times a bit too fake tasting.

Pitch black colour, no head. Aroma of chocolate, mocha, mild coffee, roasted malts. Quite sweet flavour, chocolate and liquorice. Thick texture, agar-agar thickness, finish liquorice, mocha and alcohol.
I don’t get why some brewers use agar to give the illusion of a bigger body.

sampled @Melna Ziema.
Milky, sweetish, cocoa in aroma. Taste the same - sugary, very creamy sweet, mild bitter from dark malt. Light dry finish. Mild spicy on tongue, very creamy texture, medium bodied. Overall - lactose type brew which more reminds not stout or porter but well matured dark English type ale with dozen of cocoa beans.

Thx. to Benzai / Rene for this one. Breakfast beer, the morning after RBBWG 2013 – a nice way to start the day. Pours obligatory black with a firm mocha head. Smell is very sweet mocha, soft & sweet milk chocolate, chocolate mousse, chocolate milk. Taste is basically like those sweet chocolate drinks you can get in the Supermarket, sweet chocolate, pure chocolate milk, very thick, milky, chocolate, sweet, chocolate mouse, sweet chocolate sauce. Obviously tampered with as their other stuff but I don’t care because it so lovely. This basically tastes identically to Southern Tier Choklat only with a touch too much carb. I do prefer this because the taste is even fuller & succeed even more. Good morning.

Mild aroma and dark black pour leads to a complex taste that changes both flavor and mouthfeel from coffee to warming chocolate as it leaves the palate.
