Mar 16, 2008 Pours black, one-finger tan brown head. Big bubbles fade to a small cap with some time. Nose is pungent chocolate, not so much of ’raw’ chocolate but more chocolate syrup, tootsie rolls, chocolate milk even, some slight roast. Taste goes three ways: first, bittersweet chocolate, not as artificial-tasting as in the aroma; second, really significant presence of spicy alcohol, a definite drawback; third, piney, spicy, resinous chinook hops in the background. Mouthfeel is a little slighter than I’d expect or prefer, light-to-moderate. Very long lasting and very nice chocolately bitter aftertaste.

Mar 16, 2008 Updated: Oct 22, 2009Bottle (65 cl) at a Göteborg RB tasting. Black with a large brown head. Intense chocolate aroma, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, some spicy hops. Medium to heavy body, smooth mouthfeel. A bit sweet with moderate bitterness. The overall impression is an overwhelming punch of chocolate.

Mar 15, 2008 Bottle courtesy of HogTownHarry - thanks for picking this one up for me, Harry! Pours pitch black with a two-finger dark tan head, just beautiful. Fantastic aroma of high quality dark chocolate with backing notes of roasted malt and a hint of alcohol. Full bodied without being too thick or cloying - just about perfect, really. Delicious flavour - tonnes of chocolate, but a good amount of roast malt as well, and a well-hopped finish that holds some great mint notes. Chocolate-mint - yeah, loving this! Beautiful stuff all around.

Black color, brown head. Very sweet chocolate drink scent, a little bit of hops perhaps, very one-dimensional. Chocolate, bitter, hoppy, roasted taste. Smooth mouthfeel, high bitterness.

Mar 15, 2008 Chocolate....a little more chocolate....did I mention there’s chocolate in this one? Pours pitch black, light beige head, smooth, chocolatey (no, really, it’s got some chocolate in it).
Second sip, whoa....there’s some more chocolate! I think someone melted down a Hershey bar, spiked it with some alcohol, and put it in this bottle. Yep....chocolate.
