Commercial Description:
Be careful . . . this Beast is fierce. Its bite comes initially from raw cacao - the intensely-flavored little bean that gives chocolate its toothsome character (pun intended), but is followed quickly by the glorious bitterness and floral aroma of heaps of Noble hops. Just the right amount of chewy, roasted malts round out those edgy flavors to create the perfectly-balanced, creamy stout. Leave the syrupy-sweet drinks for others. Velvety smooth, like luscious dark chocolate in your glass, Two-Headed Beast is for aesthetes and sophisticates only. Wait a second . . . that’s you, isn’t it? Like everything we brew at High & Mighty, this chocolate stout is unfiltered and unpasteurized for maximum flavor, and is brewed in small batches, so it’s always fresh.

Well last of the H&M bottles, another beer that doesn’t deliver. Stout has dark pour and some head. Flavors and aromas are ok at best, drinkable but so many other great stouts around.

22oz bottle from srizzz. Black chocolate with a small tan head. Nose is a roasty chaulky chocolate and a touch of ash. Tart, roasty, chaulky, some meaty smoke, with more leathery tartness on the end. Not good.

Bitter chocolate on the nose, cardboard or newspaper too. Odd aroma. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Thin bitter chocolate and nutty notes. Acrid mouthfeel. Not good. The shelton bros should stick to importing beer and not brew it anymore.

Bottle at Chris_o’s "smash Kook’s granny tasting". Alround rating: Roasty, bitter dryness from the roasty malt, small chocolate note, but nothing really keeping me going.

very good stout. At first it starts out incredibly roasty (if thats a word) after a while it becomes a bit vanilla like (which i didn’t care for) overall very good stout definitely try

THOUGHTS: Not really like the foreign stouts I’m used to, but a nice beer. Not as sweet a a foreign stout should be. A little watered down, but still pretty good. Not decadent enough. Looked great, smelled pretty good, tasted OK, and felt pretty bad. A little too one-sided. Not the two-headed beast it claimed to be, but a decent beer. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a dark brown that was opaque, black in the glass with and average, light brown to tan head that mostly diminished. The aroma was moderate to heavy chocolate syrup and cocoa; chocolate milk, with a hint of coffee and a hint of dark fruit. The initial flavor was sweet, a little bitter and acidic; while the finish was fairly bitter and acidic with a short to average duration. There was cocoa, some bitter hops, a little citrus. It was nice, but seemed watered down. The medium body was a little oily, but also a little creamy and also somewhat watery and then slightly dry at the end. It had lightly fizzy carbonation and a lightly astringent, slightly metallic and lightly dry finish.
