Aug 4, 2008 [1314-20080420] Tap. Milky powdered chocolate grain aroma with a slice of tangerine. Clear, bright amber orange body with a long-lasting creamy off-white head. More orange rind than chocolate in the flavour but both dominate over a grainy malt base. Medium body is heavy. At first is exceptionally nice then dulls a bit to just quite nice.

Jun 1, 2008 Brownish orange with no head, ridiculously thin and plastic-smelling, covered up with notes of Cointreau or chocolate-orange Kit Kat all over it. All I detect is some orange peel in the finish, but it’s painfully watery and tasteless. Nice concept, but not executed very well.

May 27, 2008 On tap at Cest What
Appearance: Light amber with gold touches , smallish top.2+
Nose : Light fruity aroma , sweet ripe orange.
Flavor/Palate : Dominant two themes , chocolate and very ripe , unpleasant oranges feel. Those two themes are not working together producing harmonious symbiosis. Missed target.

May 27, 2008 Draught. At C’est What. Clear light amber pour with a small off-white head. Aroma of chocolate liqueur and sweet oil grain malt, a little herbal bitterness. The taste is even more like a sweet cloying chocolate/orange liqueur with extra orange zest - it’s thick, styicky and has a little herbal bitterness in the aftertaste. Not bad, but really only just okay.

Apr 30, 2008 Draught at Volo’s 20th anniversary. Clear amber with a small head. Aroma and flavour bring to mind Terry’s Chocolate Orange - i.e. more of a milk chocolate character than the dark chocolate you find in chocolate stouts and the like. I enjoyed it, but as the others have noted, it would be tough to drink more than one - just a bit too sweet for me.
