bulletrain76 (537), Santa Cruz, California, USA Jun 14, 2008 22oz bottle. Fully black with a tan head. Milk chocolate aroma. Creamy flavor, like half and half with some coffee and chocolate in it. Finishes with a lightly bitter and dry kick. So creamy and chocolate flavored, its a little overwhelming. Not as much roast as I expected. Creamy mouthfeel with light carbonation. I don’t know what to think about this one, but it’s pretty interesting. Rerate: After the creamy quality wears off, there’s some really nice chocolate flavors, like creamy milk chocolate. A little more roast and darker chocolate flavor would be nice, but for what it is, its definitely well done.
kiefdog (402), Tampa, Florida, USA Aug 26, 2008 22oz bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a murky black color with a one finger tan head that settles slowly. Good retention and lacing. Aroma is dark chocolate, fresh ground coffee, vanilla, some caramel and toffee. Flavor is predominately chocolate and coffee with some hints of dark ripe fruit. Generally medium bodied with a sweet coffee finish. stchloe (96), Portland, Oregon, USA Jul 31, 2008 A textbook organic stout that actually suggests chocolate flavor, and not just as a result of the toasted grains. Drink this. doublebock (154), USA Jul 27, 2008 Roast malty aroma. Deep dark color with little head. Burnt coffee flavor. Not tasting the chocolate at all unfortunately. Crisp lingering hopiness. timsilvia32 (198), born in Michigan, North Carolina, USA Jul 19, 2008 Black/brown pour as it should. Dark tan head. Heavy chocolate coffee nose. Reminds me more of a milk stout, maybe a chocolate milk stout, if there was such a thing. Would drink this one again. BREWMUSKCLES (754), WEEHAWKEN, New Jersey, USA Jul 9, 2008 YES, coffee and mocha chocolate. alcohol seems pronounced and at the forefront of the flavors. winey yet overstrong alcohol flavor that is not particularly enticing. nice and rich malt flavors invade in and improve the mid palate. nice finish that is mellow. just bitter in the dutch cocoa sort of way. it is good beer creamy with nice and creamy head that is quite substantial.
