Nov 29, 2008 Shared a bottle with my bro. Pours mahogany with creamy tan head. Smells like roasted coffee and some cooca. Tastes incredible. The chocolate taste is incredible, ilke maybe a smores on a campfire. Creamy chocolaty, and rich graham craker tastes are very prominate. Has to be one of the best beers of its style I have ever tried..

Nov 29, 2008 Updated: Jan 27, 2009From bottle: Appearance is dark brown color with a tan head. Aroma of cocoa and slight malt. Tastes of chocolate with hint of vanilla at finish. Although not an everyday drink, a great after dinner dessert beer.

Nov 29, 2008 Bottle in trade from hopflop. Thanks man! Pours a dark brown color with a light beige head. Smell is chocolate and mild soy sauce. Perhaps the many years of age on this one has caused the soy sauce component. Taste is like smooth milk chocolate, but dull and not very rich. Tastes old, which it is. Otherwise, decent.

Nov 28, 2008 Tasting at River’s Bend. Pours very dark brown with a tan head. Strong and sweet chocolate and toffee aromas. Flavor is similar, very sweet roasty chocolate with some dark fruits. Improved as it warmed, but still too sweet for me, certainly wouldn’t want more than a glass of this one. Glad I had it at a tasting and didn’t drop $15 on it.

Nov 27, 2008 Good Beer, Nice rich dark color, not very much carbonation.
Interesting flavor, just not what I was expecting, not very much chocolate in the initial taste, more in the after taste.
Note: Dont drink at refrigerator temps (38 degrees) let it sit out and warm up a bit and the flavor is much better.

Pours brownish.
Aroma of chocolate, some dark fruits notes.
Taste has some light cocoa nibs with a nice use of caramel / malts sweet and filled with flavors.
Mouthfeel was very unique, light and pleasant. Very smooth, with the chocolate flavors not too overbearing.
I assume that with the hefty price tag in some stores, you are paying more for the botle. The beer is not bar, but doesn’t really justify a $15-17 price.

Nov 27, 2008 750ml Bottle: Aroma of chocolate, malts, light roasting, and milk. Poured dark brown with a hint of ruby in color and a medium to large-sized beige head that dissipated into a small film. Clear. Not sparkling. Flavor is light to medium sweet. Tastes of chocolate, malts, light roasting, Hershey’s syrup, and milk. Medium body. Smooth, thick, creamy texture. Average carbonation. Roasted malt and chocolate finish coats the mouth.

Nov 27, 2008 (1 pt. 9.4 oz. bottle from Lou’s Beverage Barn) Pours very dark birch beer brown. Three fingers of light brownish-biege head. Cocoa-chocolatey aroma, but more like actual chocolate than chocolate malt aroma found in something like a stout or porter. Mouthfeel is quite smooth and almost silky but the texture is also a bit thin. Flavor of real chocolate - semisweet and cocoa. Not overboard on the chocolate but there really is little else in the flavor profile. Pretty solid, unique beer but definitely one-dimensional.
