Dec 24, 2006 Poured a muddy brown with a nice cascading head. Only a slight whiff of chocolate comes off the top. The flavor is a very dry chocolate type, like baker’s cocoa, maybe a little toffee. Good.

Dec 22, 2006 22 oz bomber. This beer pours to a jet black color, with a soapy, tan head that fades, and a moderate carbonation. The use of cocca in this beer is very apparent in the nose. Lots of good aromas of bitter sweet/baker’s chocolate flood the nose, along with aroma of coffee and light roast. The palate is soft on the tongue, with lots of good dark chocolate, coffee, and cocca nib flavor. This beer finishes with more good chocolate, and coffee flavors up front, then ends with some really good cocca nib/dark chocolate bittereness that lingers. Really a wonderful beer that really gains really great aromas and flavors from the addition of cocca. A really wonderful mocha thing is going on in this beer, and makes it the ideal desert beer. Very impressive.

Nov 19, 2006 Updated: Dec 11, 2006Dark black color, with a thin, solid head. Very chocolately. Loved the bitter chocolate aroma and taste. Now if only I could get this without having to drive down to Richmond to get it I’d be very happy.

Nov 19, 2006 Black medium body with a large, bubbly dark brown head. Rather weak aroma for how dark this beer is. Chocolately presence, burnt notes. Flavor is lots of bitter chocolate, like cocoa powder. Not very sweet, but I think it fits well. Lots of chocolate flavor, but hey, this thing is called a "chocolate porter". Good, but I think it could use a bit more malt to add to the body and complex it a bit. As is, it’s not quite smooth enough to be a porter, this is more like a chocolate stout.

Nov 8, 2006 Definitly different than anything I’ve had before. Pours dark with a thin head. I had a hard time picking up much in the way of aromas, but that’s just me. Tastes include bitter cocoa, which reminded me of unsweetened Hershey’s powder and mocha.

May 3, 2006 The beer is quite dark with a weak stone colored head. Chalky and dried out coffee notes on the nose with the ultra dry chalk theme continuing on the palate. Frankly a bit to chocolatey for my taste without alot of structure to the malt. Not quite a porter.

Apr 29, 2006 Medium yellow head, good pour, opaque espresso colour. Aroma of vinegar & chocolate liqueur. Lovely carbony taste of burnt chocolate. Nice carbonated mouthfeel.

Mar 25, 2006 Huge ,lucious mapley, chocolately, raisony, aoma,wafting from a deep dark black body, but then boom, bitter,bitter burnt chocolate. It reminded me of when I was a kid,and your mother has a package of baking chocolate laying on the stove, and you steal a bite and go yuk this isn’t chocolate. Well of course it was,just very bitter. Same with this.Chocolate beers don’t age well,this might be getting old
