16 ounce sample on tap at the brewpub. Sweet chocolate aroma with some weird woody and chalky notes. Lots of chalk and cocoa powder. Way too much chalk in the aroma. Mildly transparent dark mahogany body with a creamy light tan head. Roasted cocoa powder to start that is lightly sweet, followed by an astringent sourness and chalkiness. Has a coffee and milky finish. Brutally flavored and the mouthfeel is just wrong.

Oct 18, 2009 On tap at the brewpub. Chocolate and some roast in aroma and taste. Dark brown. Very lacey and above average mouthfeel, covering up a sourish acidic mouthfeel. The chocolate feels added in droves from an American milk chocolate mix. On the sweeter side, and would like more roast.

Aug 20, 2009 Draft at Pearl Street. Pretty simple stout, low ABV. Smelled of dark chocolate, and tasted very sweet. It was a little too sweet for me, I certainly wouldn’t have been able to drink it all night, but it was decent on average. I would have another one if I was at Pearl Street.

Jul 20, 2009 On tap at Pearl Street. Pours a deep black, watery body with little head. Very carbonated. almost fizzy. Decent chocolate aroma. Taste has decent chocolate flavor immediately. Then has a strange fizzy awkwardness. Seems like blueberry/ raspberry. No body here at all. Like cola with herseys syrup mixed in. Had a couple decent beers during this visit, This was not one of them. Undrinkable

May 28, 2009 Draft at the brewpub. Pours near black with a thin beige head. Chocolatey mocha aroma with a hint of roast. The body is a bit on the thin side. The flavor has creamy chocolate, cocoa, mocha and burnt malts. Pretty good, one of the better beers I’ve had at Pearl Street.
