Feb 9, 2008 Tallahassee, Fl. - Market Square Liquors - 750 ml caged corked bottle - part of a gift pack with Hennepin and 3 Philosophers and a 10-year anniversary glass - worth the $24. Dark brown easing into black pour with a nice, thick, mocha colored head that leaves plenty of thick rings of lacing. Aroma of chocolate, red wine, black coffee - improves as it warms. Flavor of baker’s chocolate, unsweetened cocoa, day old black coffee, a hint of potting soil. Thick and rich, creamy mouthfeel. Very decent stout.

Feb 9, 2008 Bottle from Douglas88. Pours a clear dark brown. It is chocolate, aint no question. The only problem is that this was very thin. The chcolate flavor was clear and present but there was little else and did I mention it was thin. If this had more mouthfeel it would have been much better.

Feb 8, 2008 Tap @ TJ’s Paoli. Belgiany right off the bat. Rather sweet with a noticeably chocolate & roasted caramel/toffee candy flavor. Into medium bodied. Nice smooth meld of flavors.

Feb 4, 2008 Pours opaque with a tan head that doesn’t really stick around long. Nose is firm chocolate tones. Not much else going on besides that cocoa powder character. Flavor is a very rich chocolate. Complex? No. A chocolate stout with a Belgian flair? Yes. Feel is smooth on the liquid and has a nice level of carbonation to it. The verdict? Try it if you have the chance.

Feb 4, 2008 Updated: Dec 16, 2008Bottle from Jubilation. The chocolate is primarily milk chocolate notes - I am not sure how indulgent that is. However, the full effect of the ale is of a nice quad with smoother inclinations than spice and dark fruit. Not bad.

Feb 3, 2008 Pours a black color with a tan head. Aroma is of roasted malts, coffee, chocolate, dark fruits, and not much alcohol. Flavor is strong of the roasted malts and coffee, dark chocolate, molasses, and some dark fruit. Very delcoious.
