Nov 30, 2009 22 ounce bottle in snifter. Dark dark brown with lasting tan ring. Chocolate syrup bitter coffee mild alcohol aroma. Bitter chocolate dark roasted coffee some syrupy dark fruit medium bitter roasted lingering finish with mild alcohol burn. Medium full body. Decent enough. There are so many strong stouts out there, and so many are better than this, and then all the excessive flavor additions.... Makes me want a Sierra Nevada Stout...or two.

Nov 22, 2009 Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a large dirty brown foamy head with good retention and some great lacing. Aroma of nice black chocolate malt with nice creamy espresso notes. Taste is a nice mix between some very well balanced black chocolate and some creamy espresso with a nice dose of lactic sugar. Body is full with nice carbonation and a great creamy texture. Very well done with all the ingredient well balanced out and doesn’t taste too artificial.

Nov 22, 2009 Very dark with a tan head. Sweet chocolate aroma with malts and molasses. Flavor was over the top sweet chocolate. Too much for me- way too much. Some molasses and light roasted notes, but the sugary, chocolate sweetness kills it. I found it hard to drink this sticky, syrupy brew. I wouldn’t say it’s a bad beer, it’s just not something I enjoy.

Nov 16, 2009 Pours dark brown with a decent foamy tan head and a fragrant chocolate aroma. Yes, it tastes like a liquid chocolate bar with heavy carbonation and a lot of alcohol. It’s seriously delicious, but if you’re not a chocolate lover, you will probably not like this one very much. I like it.

Nov 12, 2009 Bomber. Pours headless, laceless opaque black. Full sweet body and mild carbonation. Sweet chocolate aroma. Sweet, and I do mean sweet taste of chocolate with with a dash of coffee. Basically a liquid chocolate bar. Interesting but unbalanced. Anyone who says this beer is ’almost’ cloying is being charitable.
