3.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottled. Poured translucent coppery-brown with a short-lived cap of beige head. The aroma was just decadent.. sweet lightly-roasted chocolates, vanilla beans, and a touch of honey at the core.. the chocolate fought with the vanilla for dominance, but I think the vanilla won.. like cake in a glass. The flavor found the same kind of stuff.. semi-sweet chocolates and vanilla beans at the core with milk chocolate sweetness laced throughout.. oaky tartness, vanilla, and dry-roasted, sweeter chocolates on the finish. Medium-bodied and somehow dry despite the sweetness on the palate.. moderate carbonation.. very tasty, but I wish I could’ve pulled in some of the Simcoe.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: MAR 7, 2010 Bottle courtesy of brainlair. Lactose sour and chalky nose, some chocolate and cola. Taste is lightly sweet, lots of lactose, chocolate, caramel and some dark fruits. Body is very soft with light, gentle carbonation. Decent, but the chalkiness is a bit of a detractor.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: MAR 7, 2010 Deep brownish black pour, with a bit of creamy head. Mild aroma, smelling mostly of sour lactose, with a tiny bit of sweetness. Tastes sweet and roasty wit lots of chocolate, and a bit of a milky lactic taste. Feels a little thin and watery in the mouth.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
A: Pours a very deep charcoal black hue. Nice tall tan head that. Dies quickly but leaves a nice collar which is made up of rather large bubbles. Huge chunks of lace left behind.
S: Nice aromas here. Nice roasted malt, raw cacao, cream, and a touch of brown sugar.
T: Not the flavor I expected here, but that’s not a bad thing. Light roast up front. Hints of bitter dark chocolate, and then boom sweetness. Sweet vanilla, light cream with a sweet Hershey’s Chocolate syrup flavor. I like the the bitter sweet thing they have going here.
M: Medium in body, smooth, slick.
