Sep 20, 2009 I indulged, and it was amazing. I am a huge fan of chocolate beers and this is one of the best I have tasted. Had it on tap at Rattle and Hum in NYC during Craft Beer Week 2009. Poured pitch black with a strong beige, fluffy head that never subsided. Aroma of roasted malts and coffee. Taste: miraculous. Notes of chocolate on the front and back ends, along with strong coffee and mild caramel flavors. Velvety smooth and rich like pudding. This was a great beer.

Sep 19, 2009 Shared with Ty and Brent on a night I’d rather forget. Pours a perfect jet black with terrific lacing and large pillowtop brown head. Nose of chocolate with hints of cherry. Flavor is mildly roasty, with some smoke notes, and a cocoa powder finish. Perfect creamy chewy full body. Delicious beer. Great with a cigar.

Sep 16, 2009 Drank this at Home from a 22oz bottle poured into a goblet.
Poured very dark with minimal tan to light brown head very persistant but minutes later had died to just patches. Lacing occured mainly at the top.
The first inkling of aroma was vinegar to me like olives then some cocoa,
The taste was mainly malty cocoa with slight bitterness at the end.
Mouthfeel was warm and thick

Sep 13, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark brown/black with a medium tan head that leaves some lacing. Aroma of chocolate, roast, malt, toast, brown sugar. Flavor follows suit, rich and very smooth. Medium body. Dry finish. It would take a while to knock down one of the 22 oz. bottles alone but great to share.

Sep 3, 2009 I think the 570 previous raters have adequately stated that this beer is chocolatey and who the hell would have guessed that by the name.

Sep 2, 2009 Sampled at DØE Beerfestival 2009, Valby. Pours a pitch black beer with a firm lightbrown head. The aroma is roasted malt, spices, rye and coffee. The flavor is chocolate, sweetness, licorice and coffee. The palate leaves roasted malts. Overall a good beer.

Sep 1, 2009 Draught at the New York Wine and Culinary Center. Deep pitch black with a root beer float head. Aroma of cocoa and Belgian yeast. Slightly funky flavor with bitter dark chocolate; dry and powdery, with just enough sweetness and a bitter, slightly sour finish. An interesting Belgian style stout, though not quite there.
