12 oz bottle. Pours a dark brown with a surprisingly thin head and light carbonation. It has the smokey bitter chocolate aroma you might expect, the taste is ok but the finish is bitter almost metallic

Tap @ Green Dragon... Poured black with a thin, brown head. Aroma was nutty with chocolate. Flavors were really different from the aroma. Very bitter and strong sense of alcohol notes. Was also chalky and you can taste the bitter dark chocolate. Maybe molasses in the finish.

Deep chocolate aroma and thick chocolate and cherry flavor, yet dry enough to be drinkable.

Getting my notebook online. Bottle. Pours black. Flavors off! Taste like they made a stout and put a bunch of cocoa from the cupboard in the bottle. Not that good at all.

Bottle. Dark, almost black beer with a light tan head. Chocolate aroma with light roast/coffee. Roasty, chocolate, malt flavor with backing hops. Medium-plus bodied. Lingering roast, some chocolate, and malt. More hops than expected for a chocolate stout.

Bottled. Fine stout. Pours a very dark brown with a thin tan head. Aroma and flavour dominated by roasted malt and bitter, unsweetened chocolate. VERY easy drinking.
