Draft Sampler. The version currently on tap is listed as 7.2% abv on the beer menu. End of my sampler tray, so no head left here. No as soul-killingly black as a stout, there is some warmth to it. Big chocolate smell. Taste shows it is a great dessert beer. Like the Terry’s Orange Chocolate, only darker and sweeter—I had to resist the urge to smack the glass on the bar counter. No bitterness here, just some residual notes of coffee malt. They should keep this around more often to work out the flavor. Might be great in a bourbon barrel.

Growler: This has a deep mahogany body, nearly solid except for the edges, with a modest tan head that refuses to perform any lacing. The aroma is lightly roasted malts with cocoa. Slightly thin, yet it still manages a nice roasted malt taste with some milk chocolate joining in mid way. A light citric tartness completes the set for the finish. Pretty good.

Served in a brandy snifter. Dark brown color, small tan head, minimal lacing. More of a roasted malt aroma than chocolate, perhaps if it was not served so cold, a hint of orange and spices. A roasted malt taste, thin body. Sorry I was not able to get the chocolate, still not a bad example.
