| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 22, 2009 Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a large dirty brown foamy head with good retention and some great lacing. Aroma of nice black chocolate malt with nice creamy espresso notes. Taste is a nice mix between some very well balanced black chocolate and some creamy espresso with a nice dose of lactic sugar. Body is full with nice carbonation and a great creamy texture. Very well done with all the ingredient well balanced out and doesn’t taste too artificial.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 22, 2009 Very dark with a tan head. Sweet chocolate aroma with malts and molasses. Flavor was over the top sweet chocolate. Too much for me- way too much. Some molasses and light roasted notes, but the sugary, chocolate sweetness kills it. I found it hard to drink this sticky, syrupy brew. I wouldn’t say it’s a bad beer, it’s just not something I enjoy. marcus (1885), Sacramento, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 16, 2009 Pours dark brown with a decent foamy tan head and a fragrant chocolate aroma. Yes, it tastes like a liquid chocolate bar with heavy carbonation and a lot of alcohol. It’s seriously delicious, but if you’re not a chocolate lover, you will probably not like this one very much. I like it. bitbucket (2034), Kirkland, Washington, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Nov 12, 2009 Bomber. Pours headless, laceless opaque black. Full sweet body and mild carbonation. Sweet chocolate aroma. Sweet, and I do mean sweet taste of chocolate with with a dash of coffee. Basically a liquid chocolate bar. Interesting but unbalanced. Anyone who says this beer is ’almost’ cloying is being charitable. dchmela (1450), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 10, 2009 Big thick black pour with a thin tan head. Sweet dark chocolate bar aroma. Dark chocolate malt, coffee taste. Finishes a little sweet. Fabulous. kp (8500), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | Nov 6, 2009 Black with a brown head. Aroma is utterly sweet chemical chocolate. Flavour is similar but even sweeter with light chocolate flavours, taste like a milky chemical chocolate bar from a really crappy company. Imperial beer for under-aged kids with f**** up taste buds.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 4, 2009 This is a dessert beer if ever I tasted one...would go well with cappuccino or chocolate ice cream. Dark mahogany pour that is translucent around the edges. Produces a 1/2 inch creamy latte head but nothing really stuck to the glass. Aroma is decadent: Godiva, Starbucks, vanilla, molasses, and brown sugar. Flavor doesn’t show the 11% at all. Instead, it’s sticky sweet with loads of caramel, cocoa, and vanilla bean. Not viscous and a little syrupy. Solid.
