I bought a bottle on Ebay and this is probably my favorite SA beer to date. Chocolate flavor is evident. Rich body and light on the hops. Nice beer for sure.

Aug 14, 2008 Pours almopst black with a huge tan head. Nose and flavor are the same; chocolate. (duh) Quite sweet and interesting with a bit of a chalky mouthfeel.

Jul 5, 2008 Dark brown with a creamy brown head, little lacing. Strong powdered cocoa smell, but wasn’t very impressive to me. Taste tasted like chalky powdered cocoa; someone else mentioned floury and a bit buttery, I’d have to agree. Light bodied, highly carbonated, pretty much the opposite of what I think would have paired good with this. Drinkability is low as I didn’t even finish my portion of my glass. Glad the bottle was shared, would have been upset to have paid all 16 bucks to pour the rest down the drain. Overall, I think this might be right up some people’s alley, so don’t let my dislike discourage you. Probably worth a try, but I won’t be buying it again. A not so good beer from a normally solid brewery.

Jul 3, 2008 A sweet chocolate syrupy aroma. Flavor has nice chocolate notes that start to coat the mouth. Finish is a bit too thick but this is okay overall.

Jun 29, 2008 Tasting at JoeMcphee’s. EyeDrinkAle said it best, "tastes like chocolate soda" Extremely sweet brew, thin mouthfeel. Glad I tried it, but the beer does not match the presentation.

Jun 28, 2008 Thanks to jcwattsrugger for bringing this one out. Deep brown pour with a thin white head. Aroma is richly chocolatey. Sort of sweet and milky. Kind of light lagered body but the chocolate really shines through anyway. Soft and cocoaish with a light vanilla back note. Pretty solid really.
