Aug 12, 2008 The aroma is lightly dusty, but with noticeable chocolate and coffee aromatics. The flavor is similar. Quite sweet through the middle with noticeable dark fruit accents leaning toward dates and plums. Mild smoke notes. Not bad at all.

Jun 14, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a black body with some brown highlights under a fizzy dark brown head that faded quickly. Lots of roast and a little chocolate maltiness, but clearly no actual chocolate. Light burnt notes and a little chalkiness. The flavor is very chocolaty up front though, with some vanilla and cream sweetness on the back end that finishes with lightly burnt toast, coffee, and a touch of chalk. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a nice soft fizzy carbonation level. The texture borders on creamy but doesn’t quite hit it. This was delicious, way better than their Porter.

Mar 6, 2008 Bottle courtesy of stfun. Pours dark brown with a thin tan head. Smells of chocolate, lots of roasty character. Tastes of chocolate, some hints of tarte fruit. Mouthfeel is full with a roasty finish.

Mar 4, 2008 Upland Chocolate Stout is an interesting sweet stout. The brew is a deep dark color with a medium, but quickly dissolving head. The aroma is of chocolate and coffee and the taste is not very inventive.

Mar 4, 2008 Very nice chocolate stout! Nicely avoids going overboard, concentrates on the body of the beer, with good results. Dark and thick, but not syrupy. Full bodied and lots of malt. Hints of oatmeal and hops, with a clean coffee aftertaste. Nice and full of flavors. Not "chocolate" so much as some other chocolate beers, but one that balances itself out nicely. Very tasty.
