Dec 3, 2005 pub 11/20/05 Very similar to the Oompa. Chocolatey nose with more coffee/roasted malt than Oompa. Slick body. Nice balance between chewy chocolate and dry roasted malts. Intresting touch of hop in there too.

Mar 7, 2003 Way too sweet. I was unaware of that cavity until this sweet watery chocolatey drink hit my tooth. Starts with big real chocolate bar flavor, and in less than 6 ounces, turns into bad fake chocolate Necco flavor. Like mixing your watery ale with Ovaltine.

Mar 7, 2003 Chocolate pudding aroma, tastes like a gourmet devil's food cake but in a liquid, bittery form. Got some buttery flavor too. Agree with jaymobrown, its very sweet and was somewhat flat at the RAF. I'd like to have this beer about twice a year I think, anymore would just make the novelty disappear.

Mar 4, 2003 Cask, RAF '03. For some reason this beer really impresses me. It really tastes just like somebody melted a Hershey bar in your beer, but oddly, they get it to work, with a miniscule malt profile and a very acceptable mouthfeel. None of the off flavors User X described.

Mar 2, 2003 A very, very, very sweet stout. Tastes like chocolate powder ground up in a glass. A little flat with a medium finish.

Dec 25, 2001 Shadallion’s ’trainwreck’ descriptor comes immediately to mind. This is absolutely hideous with bubblegum and bandage aromas. I’ve got to stop here. Strange to me that others here at the bar seem to love this. The brewer who is sensitive to phenolic doesn’t detect much or any.
