Sep 17, 2009 let me start by saying I like this beer. I’m leary about things like chocolate in beer, it just sounds like two things that wouldn’t go together but this one works. It pours almost a dark black with a small head. The chocolate flavor is so smooth, almost milky. Wonder what kind of chocolate they use. It’s refreshing and different. If you like chocolate and beer, give this one a try.

Sep 14, 2009 Bottle. Pours deep black with faint ruby edge and very faint bubbly off-white head. Nose is milk chocolate, roasted malt and coffee. Has a good sweet chocolate flavor with nice carbonation balance. Relatively smooth and a little bitter overall. ABV is unnoticeable in this one. As it warms it opens up a little more to reveal some tootsie roll and vanila creme soda. I was surprisingly pleased with this, has a very different mouthfeel than normal due to the odd carbonation mix. Worth trying once, but i would not pay the price again.

Sep 8, 2009 Pours a thick garnet red to deep brown with a thick creamy light brown head. The head dissipates reasonably quick. Nose is thick and creamy. Lots of strong malts, and a bit of cocoa/chocolate. In the mouth it’s not quite what it looks like it should be. It’s a little thinner than I expected. Flavour is mostly malts. Hardly any hops if at all. The sweet part is mostly caramel malts, with loads of chocolate. A tiny bit of coffee maybe. Carbonation is strong, but nice. Lends a bit of bite to it. It isn’t the creamiest beer I’ve ever tasted, but it’s nowhere near watery. Overall, very enjoyable. Plenty of flavor without feeling too heavy.

Sep 8, 2009 this used to be $14.99 and i saw it reduced to $11.99 so i decided to finally give it a try on a hope and a prayer. boy was i dissapointed. Smells like cheap hot chocolate mix. completely black with a tiny head that dissapears in 30 seconds. tastes like if you threw some kind of a shot of alcohol in a dunkin donuts mocha latte. tons of chocolate and a mocha coffee taste (but not as much as chocolate) overly bitter twang into my mouth that makes me want a glass of water after each sip. valiant effort but falls short of what i expected. to each his own i suppose.

Sep 5, 2009 Bottle pours dark color with tan head. Aroma is bittersweet chocolate with a hint of oxidation. Bottle is over a year old. Slightly viscous mouthfeel. This surprised me for the style. Flavor was smooth chocolate, subtle coffee roast, finishes with a slight twang. Almost tart finish. This is a nice brew. Just not worth the price tag I saw on the bottle.

Sep 3, 2009 Pours dark black with a small head. Nose of chocolate. Taste is pretty much the same. Not a whole lot going on, but not bad.

Aug 30, 2009 Bottle, 75 cl. Pours a brown colour with a beige head. The aroma is filled with milk chocolate, latte macchiato, ice coffee, sweet (cheap) cocoa powder and some sweet liquorice. The flavour is pretty much the same. Thin bodied and a bit watery. Pretty sweet with little to no hops and bitterness. Arguably the most expensive ice coffee substitute known to mankind.

Aug 24, 2009 Bottle. Pours deep brown with a reddish tinge, topped by a medium light brown head that fades quickly. Aromas of dark baking cocoa, sour cherries, caramel, roasted malts, toffee, vanilla, and a touch of coffee. Sweet and slightly viscous mouthfeel with chocolate and caramel upfront; very smooth, with nearly no hop presence. Smooth, sweet, very drinkable, and enjoyable. Thanks Avindra!
