Bottle: The aroma consists of chocolate, roasted malt, and light vanilla. It pours a dark brown with no transparency and a small beige head that eventually fades to a thin film. The flavor starts with some light chocolate and some mild roastiness. The finish some mild vanilla and some light-moderate piney roadtiness. It’s medium bodied with moderate carbonation.

Dec 15, 2009 A 12 oz. bottle courtesy of "hannont". Colour... dark brown with no head. Nose... semi-sweet chocolate chips! I think Guittard , chocolate chips. Palate... frothy with loads of bittersweet chocolate, anise, a slightly tangy feel around the edges of the soft palate and a long bitter finish.

Dec 14, 2009 Pours a nice 2 finger chocolate head. Body is pitch black in color. Head retention and lacing are good
Aroma is of rich, roasted malt. Chocolate and a tiny bit of coffee are also present. Hops arent there but as beer warms the vanilla is noticed.
First taste is of sweet malt. Chocolate and vanilla come in as the beer warms and compliment the beer very good. Hops are pretty muted and there is an after taste of some cold burnt coffee.
Mouth feel is pretty good. Body is alittle on the light side but head adds some nice fluffiness to it. Good balance of carbonation
Overall it is pretty good. Very sessionable for such a flavorful stout. Cocoa and vanilla beans really make this a unique beer. Love everything this brewery does, just wish their prices were alittle more affordable cause I can drink their stuff everyday

Dec 13, 2009 Poured darker than a quantum singularity. This lovely little thing sucked in all the light in the room and gave none back. A little frothy head lingered past closing time. The very scent of it sent me right back to a pastry shop. Lots of roasty toasty malts, an elbow deep armfull of chocolate and a slight hint of real vanilla beans. It went down smooth and velvety, boasting large chocolate flavours and dark dark roasted malts with just enough vanilla so as to not dominate the main flavours. Truly a fantastic beer. I love you God of the Sky!

Dec 13, 2009 12oz bottle (labeled Aphrodite 2009) into a pint glass. Pours solid black with a 2-finger dark milk chocolate head floating on top. The aroma is mostly chocolate with some roasted malt and a solid dose of sour stout. The flavor on this is amazing - it’s a giant mix of chocolate, coffee, stout roasted malts, vanilla, coconut, and more than I could explain without giving you a taste. This stuff is really good!

Dec 11, 2009 On tap at Novare Res. Pours a dark black with a little tan head. Aroma is chocolate and vanilla with a jim beam hint. Flavors are just like the aroma, tons of vanilla at work here, the chocolate dominates the aftertaste and lends a nice bitterness to this beer.
