Bottle. Luscious aroma of bitter chocolate, cocoa powder, roasted malt, mellow (but still rich) coffee, alcohol, some doughiness. Flavor just continues to bring on more and more surprises for a 4.9% brew, all in the chocolate/dessert department. There remained something odd about the brew to me, after all the rich, sweet stout flavors, the finish had a nearly dopplebock feel to me, not really actually, I just can’t put my finger on it and that’s the best I could come up with. In any event, something just didn’t jive with me, but still a very, very rich and intriguing brew that I’ll be having again.

Aug 20, 2008 Dark black pour with a tan bubbly head. Aroma is weak, with hints of cream, malt, and cocoa. Tastes of smokey roasted malt and mild coffee with a milky chocolate finish. Dessert and coffee all rolled up into one!

Aug 4, 2008 Black pour, small cream colored head. Very malty, creamy, sweet. I don’t get as much chocolate as others here however. Nothing to balance this out. Full bodied. Definetely a sweet stout. Take it or leave it.

Aug 2, 2008 Bottle. Rich black color with a strong, tan head. Muted nose of coffee and cocoa powder. Smoky, roasty flavors with a thick, but not too thick mouthfeel. Not a terribly memorable stout and could use more bitterness to even out the roasted flavors. Quite drinkable and solid.
