Jan 11, 2009 The bottle poured dark cola color with mahogany tints and minimal tan head, settling with virtually no lacing. I smell deep dark chocolate, with a little smoky accent, vanilla and alcohol. I definitely taste the chocolate overtones, mild roasted bitterness with the medium bock finish. The toasty, bready maltiness is a nice backbone for the chocolate bitterness, providing subtle sweetness. I would have expected this to be a higher gravity, overtop brew, but it’s very well balanced. Check it out.

Jan 10, 2009 This poured a dark brown color with a nice thin light tan head. Aroma wasnt is strong as i expected but contained mainly sweet malts and hints of milk chocolate. Flavor was very smooth and drinkable, not as much chiocolate flavor as in the nose, but a nice smooth malty beer at that.

Jan 8, 2009 Pours a dark black with a tan head. Smells of malted barly and chocolate with a taste that matches. Very good overall. I drank this out of a dimpled mug.

Jan 6, 2009 Absolutley decetant. Perhaps one of the most under control desert beers I have ever had. Plenty of chocolate and roasty malt in the aroma, a little bit of chalk, but very forgivable. The taste is on eof the most under control and delicious chocolate beers that I have ever tasted, yes the chocolate is there, no this does not appear to be artificially sweetened at all. The chocolate is so nice and plays particularly well with the malt sweetness. There is not a lot of dryness happening here nor is there much bitterness, most of the bitterness present uses the bitterness of the coco to express itself wonderfully. I could only drin k this on occassion and with a price tag like that I am sure it will only be on rare occasions.

Jan 5, 2009 Dark, but clear body with a quickly diminishing head. Malty aromas with a slight hint of chocolate. Good aroma, but it is not that strong. Excellent nose, with a chocolate sweetness followed by a clean tasting malt profile. The finish is pretty bland as the beer has little stickiness, which is also noticeable by a lackluster lacing on the glass. Also, the carbonation is a bit high as the acidic tone is present in the aftertaste. This is a pretty good beer, but there are better chocolate beers out there. They need to work on the finish and amp up the aroma a bit; this beer just doesn’t have a strong enough character to warrant being this highly rated. I’m guessing its because people don’t want to rate a $13 beer too low, or they will look stupid for buying it in the first place. Interestingly enough, I bought this bottle in an Albertson’s in Louisiana, so the note at the end of the description is obviously wrong.

Jan 5, 2009 Bottle: Poured a nice almost black, dark brown color. The aroma was roasted malts. The flavor was smooth, chocolate malts. The aftertaste was like chocolate milk. One of my favorites.

Jan 5, 2009 Updated: Jan 8, 2009(bottle) Black body with very little head. The aroma is strongly sweet with some bitter notes - strongly chocolate, slightly fruity, sour. Flavor is also very sweet and very chocolaty. I like tart flavors but this "tart" tends more toward sour milk to me, so I’m not sure if I like that. The alcohol is also perceptible.
