Jun 9, 2009 Bottle (50 cl), thanks gnoff. Clear copper with medium yellow-beige head. Strong dark milk chocolate aroma, with malt and some hops. Medium bodied, medium carbonation. Well balanced with a dry finish. Very drinkable despite a lot of chocolate which never becomes overwhelming or cloying.

Apr 12, 2009 Bottled. Deep rubyish brown colour, small yellowish beige head. Aroma is chocolate, some spices, mild notes of caramel malts and slight vanilla. Flavour is chocolate, coffee, caramel malts, some fruityness. Positive surprise, though the chocolate feels a bit artificial.

Deep ruby color, good beige head. Cocoa, milk chocolate and bread in the nose. Also flavor has milk chocolate, cocoa and vanilla with kind of greasy mouthfeel. Fizzy carbonation. Quite nice beer from Saku, just lacking the hoppy side. Chocolate lager.

Dec 30, 2008 500ml bottle (random shop in Tallinn)
Rich reddy brown, glow-in-the-dark brief head. Sweet cocoa aroma. Anna gets raisins too. Taste is even more cocoaey, it tastes like uncooked chocolate cake mix. It actually made me laugh. That sits atop a sweet malty backdrop, but it’s definitely lacking in the hops department, there’s no crispness, and it ends up way too sweet, almost flat. A fun beer, but not a good beer. Could be tweaked to make it good though.

Nov 20, 2008 500ml Bottle - Dark brown/copper with red tinges. Chocolatey aroma with some fruity, malty and vanilla notes. Bittersweet taste with chocolate, raisins, caramel and a light fruit cake element. Not bad and more impressive than I expected.
