Body is the best part of this beer, very thick, creamy. Not a very aggressive taste either. Chocolate, marshmallow, cream, hops, roasty. Very nice beer. pepsican (885), The Student Ghetto, Iowa, USA

Tons of lacing, giant foamy head. Chocolate is assertive in the nose, with caramel wrapped in booziness. Thick malt is inviting. Flavor has thick caramel, with a chocolate background. Booziness in the finish, and some cotton candy. Hoppy finish balances the overall feel, and quite drinkable as a sipping RIS.
