This is quite the classic. It has a fantastic chocolate aroma, full of cocoa too. The flavours however do not live up to the inital sugar rush in the nose, being more roasted than sweet.

I tried this beer on June 28, 2008 after purchasing from the Queen’s Quay LCBO outlet in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a very dark brown with a generous light brown head. The aroma was roasted malt, and chocolate. The mouthfeel was full-bodied, slightly creamy, and medium carbonated. The flavour roasted malt, chocolate, and cocoa to give it a ’dry’ feel.

Pours a heavy black with a healthy, frothy carmel head that is lasting. Aroma consists of chocolate and hints of coffee with irish cream. Flavor is much like the smell with a dry touch. Did not live up to my expectations but none the less is a quality beer. Very good desert beer. Have another? Sure.

Nitro can: Aroma of light sweetened chocolate and mild hops. Appearance is black with a nice 2 finger chocolate head that leaves lacing down the glass. Flavor is like the smell creamy chocolate with a dry slightly, bitter finish. Palate is creamy and coats the mouth with lucsiousness.
