Very chocolaty and sweet. Like an alcoholic milkshake. Taste is good but marks off because I don’t want milkshake , I want beer. If you are 16 and want to get your girlfriend drunk, this would be a good start.

Double Chocolate que deveria se chamar Double Café. tem mais sabor de café do que o chocolate proposto. o aroma é bom, a aparencia é fantástica mas o sabor é um pouco cítrico. já o retrogosto é de um café amargo. saborosa.

On tap at brevinga riga. Thick off white head. A real treat to have it on tap somewhere unexpected. Clear blackout. Smoothstout chocolate taste. A great brew

Dark brown (and from where I was standing in this sark pub) almost black with brownish thick foma head lacing to glass. Arome is roasted barley and chocolate. One can taste chocolate, bitter chocolate. Aftertaste is nice bitter, not sweet at all. (Moscow 201209)

Lagerboy (705) - British Columbia, CANADA - MAR 16, 2012
Darkest brown, no hue. Foamy mocha head slowly fades. Milk chocolate and roasted malt aroma and taste. Lightly bitter, not too sweet. Rich and creamy, medium bodied, softly carbed. Light bittersweet finish. LBW (Lagerboys Be Wary) (FYI: mix with Mort Subite Framboise to create a Black Forest Cake concoction!)

jackl (2827) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - DEC 18, 2011
Deep, near-black color. Heavy mocha notes on the nose, some chocolate and sooty roasted malts. The taste is initially sweet, chocolate, but ends smooth, light and dry. The palate’s medium and slightly watery. Overall, a bit too thin to make this truly great. Definitely good though.

Nice treat to taste this one on cask. Dark black, classic cask head (none). chocolate aromas and tastes come through nice.

Could not find a bottle version on the list, so i’ll add it here. Pours brown, with a decent off white head. Aroma is dark chocolate. Taste is strong chocolate and roasted malts. Quite nice, couldnt drink too much of it though.

Mad_Ferret (508) - SWEDEN - DEC 14, 2010
UPDATED: MAR 7, 2011 Dark murky brown. Quite thin nose of burnt malts and chocolate. Taste is milky chocolate and malts. Body is medium to thin. Simple and does the job.
