Tasting at Three Cellars Milwaukee. I almost didn’t know this was a beer. It tastes more like a Chocolate soda with hardly any carbonation.

Pours very dark brown with a thick tan head. Aroma of bitter chocolate. The taste was like chocolate coke or doctor pepper with chocolate syrup added. High carbonation.

Can pours opaque black with thick tan head and very nice lacing. Aroma is bittersweet chocolate. First taste is sweet with slight chocolate bitterness. Pretty well balanced with no taste linger. I dont know if it was just the can but it seemed to be a little watery. Good stout otherwise.

Pretty pitch black pour with a thick two finger milk chocolate head almost like a nitro. Mostly roasted coffee aromas, Taste is cold cocoa mixes, sweet chocolate, slightly burnt and roasty malt bitterness. Smooth drinker.

Very dark with a lovely thick head. Chocolate attacks the nose a bit along with some coffee. Not sickly at all and a pleasant long finish. I’ve had this on tap at the old brewery and many a bottle but I have noticed a recent drop in the consistency of bottles.

Pours dark ebony with a thick cardboard colored head that lasts a long time and leaves plenty of lacing. Aroma is roast malts, english hops, chocolate, and walnuts. Flavor is sweet and smooth, rich chocolate and roast malts, bitter hops to start. Finishes off a little drier with a nice slightly bitter hop tingle and some of the lingering roast and chocolate to back it up. Mouthfeel is thick but not overly sticky feels alot drier than it tastes, carbonation is at an almost perfect level. Overall a great chocolate stout, one of my favorites
