Apr 28, 2008 A very nice Stout!
Pours with a good big head, with roasted malt aromas.
The flavor is suprisingly not very sweet, which was a plesant suprise. Lots of dark chocolate, and dark roasted malt flavors. There is a strange musty/sweat flavor in there that does not balance well with the rest of the flavors. But overall this is a beautiful beer.

Apr 26, 2008 Pours a beautiful rich black color with big frothy tannish head. Aroma is very metallic as it appears the yeast gives off an iron aroma. This is intermixed with light notes of chocolate. Taste is somewhat bland., it’s essentially the metallic yeastiness intermixed with some chocolate. Overall, it’s not bad, but at $10.99 a bottle it should be better.

Apr 26, 2008 Pours a pitch black with a medium mocha head that slowly fades and leaves lots of bubbly lacing. Aroma is dark roasts, slightly smokey, and a bit of cocoa. At first it tasted like blood.....no, I’m not a vampire, but it tasted very iron-rich. Taste is cocoa, dry roasts, and some sugars.

Apr 25, 2008 Bottle. Pours a deep chocolatey brown with a thick chocolatey head. The aroma was bitter dark chocolate and roasted coffee. Taste starts off bitter and roasted but gets sweeter as the bottle warms. The palate was slightly thinner than expected but still good.

Apr 25, 2008 Bottle: Dark brown with a large, creamy tan head. Smells of light roast and coffee, just a bit o’ chocolate. Some of that Ommegang yeast too. Flavor is flat and dry chocolate (like the kid’s nestle quick), light roast, and a little metallic tasting. Not nearly what I had hoped for. At least the body is thick and creamy...

Apr 24, 2008 Black with a thick and long lasting head. Looks good in the glass and gives off the aroma you’d expect (though i wish the chocolate was a bit more in your face). Tastes good, chocolate and coffee, a bit overly roasted flavor for my tastes, solid beer.

Apr 19, 2008 Appearance: Pours an opaque black body with a dense, lingering, beige head.
Smell: Aroma of cocoa powder with a noticeable sourish leaning. Light notes of roasted grains and a few snippets of licorice
Taste: Cocoa powder with a middling sweetness that’s thin on chocolate flavor (especially when one considers the name), and makes up for it in sourness. Hint of licorice, roast. Slight bitterness. Dry, chalky finish with a peculiar aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Smooth mouthfeel. Moderate carbonation.
Drinkability: Sorry, but no, I just didn’t care for this beer that was about as much fun as peeling potatoes.
