Mar 28, 2009 Pours a fairly dark copper. Very rich and smooth, with a serious chocolate flavor. Quite delicious and very drinkable. It was expensive, $14.95 for a large bottle at Front Street market in Butte Montana, but it is a nice treat. Thumbs way up for this one.

Mar 27, 2009 Poured a very dark brown/red with a small tan head. Aroma mainly of chocolate malts. Flavor was of chocolate malts and a little sweet. Maybe a little watery, but malty. Finish was nice and smooth. Overall very drinkable. Definitely worth trying once, but there are much better beers for the money.

Mar 26, 2009 Pours a dark brown (almost black with some red tint). Thin tan head that disippates quickly. Aroma is strong with chocolate and toffee. Flavor is awesome (if you like chocolate). Lots of chocolate flavor, with some undertones of vanilla and dried cherries. Mouthfeel is incredibly smooth--like liquid silk.
The price and style aren’t something I’d go for every day, but is well worth it for a special occasion.

Mar 23, 2009 Poursa cola colored brown/red with a light tan head. Aroma was chocolate, some malt, but not much else. Flavor was a little flat. A bit of chocolate and not much else. Really underwhelming and one dimensional.

Mar 22, 2009 Bottle from Coop in Davis. This beer is my kind of brew: malty, chocolatey, smooth on the palate, light carb, etc. I’ll agree it’s not the most complex or thick beers, but it was great for what is was. Great beer.

Mar 20, 2009 Pours mahogany into the glass, with the slightest of ruby hues to the fringes, and a tannish-eggshell head that diminishes to a thin cap, leaving soapy lace down the glass. After checking the nose on this one (literally 9-10 times), I had to conclude that it did indeed contain predominant chocolates (there are so many "chocolate" brews that miss the mark totally). The flavors are interesting... some underlying dark chocolate notes, a staunch oaked vanilla middle and ripened dark cherries overtop, with trace notes of peanuts and blueberries (ripened sweet, not aged early and sour). The finish is interesting... a souring take on the malt contingencies. The mouthfeel is definitively creamy with semi-zesty carbonation levels, accompanied by a lightly-medium embodiment. Not a bad offering here, but a bit unilateral, lacking the complexity to push it to the next level.

Mar 16, 2009 Dark brown pour with creamy tan head that lingered. Aside from the obvious, CHOCOLATE, there was a mild malty undertone in the overly carbonated mouth feel. This starts and finishes the same, not very complex, but all in all a decent brew to have every once in a while.
