Aug 26, 2009 Oh boy does this have a history for me. I first tried this before I was into beer, and I could barely choke it down. I later chugged an entire pint for a friend on an Old Chicago mini-tour. These days, I love this stuff! It’s like drinking a delicious caramel cappuccino in beer form... awesome!

Aug 22, 2009 Updated: Sep 5, 2009Good not great..I am a fan of sweet stouts so I was very anxious to try this. A bit thin but drinkability is great.

Aug 18, 2009 Opaque. Black. Thin head.
Roasty armoa for the most part, with some stale water notes as well.
Big but not too big malty/roasty flavors dominate. Somewhat on the dry side for a sweet stout.
Finish isn’t as long as expected, and the body is a little thin for a stout. Worth a try, maybe even a good everyday stout in winter months if you’re not in the mood for a strong ale.

Aug 14, 2009 33cl bottle. Poured an unclear, deep ruby colour with a generous, foamy tan head that was slow to dissipate leaving a layer encircling the glass. Sweet, plummy, chocolately flavours combine with roasted malts and a coffee on the nose. Dominant notes of choclate and coffee flavours with a slightly perfumey backdrop. A roasty, bitter dryness in the finish, which is of average length. Solid, smooth mouthfeel, good carbonation but the overall body of the beer might be a bit lacking in terms of dimension.

Aug 12, 2009 I got this 12 oz bottle at Legal Seafoods in Boston at Copley Plaza. Poured a cloudy brown with a moderate sized tan head and good lacing rings. Nose is of roasted malts with chocolate, coffee, and raisins. Mouthfeel is robust but still smooth. Flavor is chocolate in the main, with some coffee notes. Finish is dry and lightly bitter.

Aug 9, 2009 Pours a deep, dark brown with a dark tan head. Smells of roast malts, maybe a little chocolate and coffee as well. Rich flavors, nice and creamy. Taste is of milk chocolate and a little hint of coffee as well. Nothing astounding here, but a quality beer overall.

Aug 3, 2009 Bottle. Pours dark brown, almost black, some red highlights. Small offwhite head. Sweet aroma of coffee and chocolate, some nuts, caramel. Flavour is sweet, some bitter coffee notes, otherwise much the same as the aroma. A little bit thin and watery. Nothing amazing, but nice and drinkable.

Jul 28, 2009 Deep brown pour with off white head. Coffee and cream aroma. Medium bitterness followed by a medium body of chocolate, coffee and vanilla beans. Nice beer.
