My new favourite, bought it from the LCBO, goes flat right out of the bottle, and leaves a nice mouthfeel, tastes strongly of chocolate and coffee. Awesome comfort beer, good for dessert.

16 oz. nitrocan. Black with a massive, rolling, full brown head that lasted the entire glass. Tastes of smoothe dark chocolate. Maybe it is the chocolate-lover in me but this stout is damn tasty.

If Guinnees and Hershey’s ever hooked up -- this would be their love child. Pours beautifully from the tap, but while this beer smells and tastes much like milk chocolate, the sweetness certainly overpowers this one, resulting in something much closer to a confection rather than a hearty stout.

This is one of my favorite beers of all time. The pour gives you a nice milky head even from the bottle. The color is that of Guinness, and just as smooth, but with a hint of chocolate aftertaste. The perfect dessert beer for anything chocolate! Or I usually pick up a 22oz. bottle and have it as a primer for the rest of the night!

can and bottle, bottle is slightly better but this is just not a good beer. it is more of a roasted chocolate milk shake than a stout. just plain too sweet for my taste.

I had the bottled variety. A fantastic beer, with some very intriguing flavors. Very smooth with nice chocolate taste. As the bottle says it is (surprizingly) not that sweet.

From the high ratings on this beer, I must have had a bad can, and will have to try this again soon. It poured a dark black opaque colour with a huge tan head. Very sticky lacing that coats and hardens in the inside of the glass. Very chocolatey of course- aroma is slightly nutty- with a taste of milk, chocolate and almonds. As i already mentioned, I didn’t enjoy this. Im usually one for choc stouts- but this lacked a lot of carbonation.

(Bottled) Very dark brown with an off-white foam head. Roasted, slightly hoppy scent. Creamy mouthfeel. Very chocolaty and milky in the mouth. Surprisingly lacking in aftertaste but still rather nice.
