DarkBeer (6), Ohio, USA does not count May 19, 2008 Frothy head is huge, beer pours very dark. Chocolate shows up in the nose along with roasty malts. Creamy, satiny mouthfeel. Complex series of flavor, with the chocolate notes kicking in at the back end of the swallow. An outstanding stout. ultraspank (855), Dublin, Ohio, USA Nov 30, 2007 Nose of spicy cherry cordials, chocolate brownies fresh from the oven, and all kinds of floral notes here as well. Pours black. The wicked cascade resolves into a towering, uber stiff & rocky tan head that is fully lasting and leaves excellent lace. Goes down waaaay too smooth. This is guinness to the 100th power. Holy shit! Flavor is sweet and roasted chocolate malt, mild alcohol warmth and sweetness as not to upset the masterful balance. Light acidity adds to the cornucopia of tasting pleasure. The chocolate in the finish is just as the label claims "indulgence". The full body is creamy and chewy, lively; and feels dry at the finish. Fuck this is good!! Should definitely be allowed to breathe and warm if you have the willpower. The mark of a great brew is the measure of how easily one could make themselves sick...for me with this one, it would be all too easy. Wa-we-woo-wah...very nice...I like...high five!! vaughn (4), miamisburg, Ohio, USA does not count Jun 7, 2008 chocolate and coffe...how can I complain...would recommend to anyone who likes roasted malt ales with a dry cocoa finish dwyerpg (1983), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Mar 20, 2008 This is good stuff. Not real strong in the chocolate, neither in the nose nor flavor, but it’s there and the subtelty is quite nice. Smooth and tasty. turbo (1240), Arizona, USA May 17, 2008 Poured black with a huge, thick, creamy brown head.
Rich, roasty chocolate aroma.
Flavor is creamy, rich and roasty with a light metalic flavor at the end.
Good beer!
