Bottle. Pours almost black with a lasting tan head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt and coffee notes. Medium body, very smooth. Flavor is sweet and roasted malt, coffee and light chocolate notes, with noticeable hops underneath it all. Very well balanced. I like that this isn’t completely over the top like some I’ve had recently, just a very well made stout.

Sep 6, 2008 Bomber. Pours a dark brown with a large, tan head. Aromas are chocolate, maybe oats and grain dust and a touch of pine hops. Flavor is similar to nose, but it isn’t a very full palate, which makes it fairly disappointing.

Sep 6, 2008 Pours jet black with choc orange coloured head. Aromas dominated by coffee and chocolate with hinting dark fruit. Palate is maltier than previously sampled Choc Stout. Displays some liquered fruit and finishes with dry coffee roast and very slight sour tang from oats.

Sep 5, 2008 Quite classical. Chocolate and roast flavours drive the palate quite convincingly. Good balance and well made.

Sep 4, 2008 Dark Amber, modest tan Head, looked just like Mocha porter but with more smoke, less vanilla, and less overall flavor. Too much alike so quite dissappointing for a Brewer of such reputation

Aug 29, 2008 pours a 1\4 inch tan head, and is a beautiful dark non translucent color. aroma contains hints of mocha and toasted malts with metallic undertones. tastes great surprisingly the metallic taste is great with the roasty barly mocha flavors. very smooth on the palate .
