Jan 22, 2009 Pours a dark brown with a nice chocolate head. Scent is a faint chocolate with a little fruitiness to it. At first I was not to impressed with the taste, but the after taste is where the full flavor kicks in. Tastes like the end of a bitter dark chocolate after it melts in your mouth and slowly drips down your throat. Absolutely delicious. I savored every last drop of this

Jan 21, 2009 solid dark pour, thick tan frothy head
very nice roasted coffee aroma, without being burnt, some undertones of floral hops and some green olive
flavor is very nicely balanced, though maybe a bit too subtle (improves as it warms obviously)
bittersweet chocolate, some malt, alcohol, balanced with malty more than hops-y bitterness
smooth mouthfeel, though a bit overcarbonated maybe
finish is a bit lacking
as it warms you get more hops in the nose and some sweeter molasses in the flavor
overall a very nice stout

Jan 19, 2009 I loved this one and had no trouble sipping through the whole 750! Rich chocolatey nose with notes of coffee and roast. Very dark brown color, almost black and totally opaque in the glass with a thick creamy tight bubbled head. The label calls is luxurious and both the appearance and mouthfeel approach that adjective. Big rich chocolate, molasses, and roast flavor but not overly sweet at all with enough dry roasty character to balance it out with touches of roast and smoke in the finish. Perhaps the dead on best beer Ommegang makes.

Jan 18, 2009 Bottle from Trinity Liquors in Spring Hill, FL. Aroma of coffee, malt, smoky alcohol...something else thats nice but I cant put my finger on it. Pours black with medium tan head. Flavor of dark chocolate, smoked pine, a little bitter like theres some IPA mixed in, some coffee too. Nice smoky aftertaste, easy to drink. Not as chocolately as youd expect...Some dark chocolate but more smoky than anything...Very solid.

Jan 18, 2009 Beautiful chocolate beer. Lacing for days, chocolate accented head three inches thick. Darker than dark. Gorgeous. Flavours of chocolate malts and lite on the hoppy bitterness.
Golden chocolate.

Jan 12, 2009 A buddy of mine bought a bottle at wegmans. This one was pretty decent for a stout but nothing special. Pretty good all around.
