Didn’t initially think much when I poured, the head looked fluffy, not creamy, however, the aroma was wonderful and as for the taste...WOW, I wish I could drink this on tap as I would drink it all day long. The idea of chocolate stout didn’t appeal to but it certainly does now. Excellent Rerate 26th March 2008 Only new observations added; Spice in the aroma, nutmeg in particular, chocolate is dominant throughout the aroma and the flavour, with a cinnamon-malt finish yum

Sep 6, 2008 pours black with nice tan head. Aroma is of sweet chocolate - taste is chocolate milk and malt with a bitter aftertaste. nice palate with just enough carbonation - Very enjoyable - not my favorite but would enjoy again for sure

Sep 5, 2008 I need more hops! The balance is way off to me. Way too sweet. Very cloying. I’ve had chocolate stouts that I like very much but not this one. Yuk!

Sep 4, 2008 Pours pitch black with a tan head that all but disappears. Smells like a bar of dark chocolate, taste is well-rounded with a lovely lingering chocolate. Smooth mouthfeel, goes down pretty easy, a nice overall effect.

Aug 28, 2008 this a nice smooth beer, its bitter but not over powering in the taste, its silky and has a touch of orange like quality. great for the winter.
