22 oz. bomber bottle. No freshness date seen. Poured out a deep, dark brown. Very little head. Left a lacing down the sides of the glass. Aromas are Hershey’s Dark Chocolate Bar, very little else. Flavors are strictly Hershey’s Chocolate Bar. Alcohol is present as well. Aftertaste is chocolate bar.
Basically a chocolate bar in a glass, with some alcohol thrown in.

Jan 1, 2010 22 oz bottle. Smells exactly like it tastes sweet with tons of baker’s chocolate, chocolate syrups, and this dusty chocolate like opening up a can of nestle quick or hershey’s chocolate for hot chocolate. I’m not sure what they are trying for with their chocolate beers, but they go way over the top. This stuff is tough to drink.

Dec 30, 2009 Bottle shared by alexanderj. Brown pour. Aroma is cocoa powder lilke other southern tier chocolate beers. Flavor is the same with some grain and dark fruit. Not much other than the chocolate, and the flavor sort of became a little less appealing as I drank it.

Dec 30, 2009 22 oz. Opaque black with a lasting film of cream. Aroma is pure semi-sweet chocolate. Flavor is the same, turning to vanilla and coffee with some corn and alcohol on the finish. Medium-heavy body is slightly watery, smoothly carbonated and roasty dry.

Dec 29, 2009 Bottle, bought @ Ølbutikken, Cph.
Pours deep opaque black with a fine, creamy, beige head. Good lacing and fine duration. Typically sweet Southern Tier aroma, chocolate, milkey, light perfumey. A bit of caramel. Medium carbonation, fine milky creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is very sweet, light sugary, some milky chocolate. Light vinious, mild coffee. Fair coffee-bitter finish. Still far too sweet for its own good, but this one is okay.

Dec 27, 2009 Bottle. Somewhat disappointed with this one. You can tell that it’s coffee and chocolate for sure - that’s the scent, that’s the taste. But there’s an uneven-ness to it. Rather than a coffee and chocolate smooth combination, it feels like they just mixed Choklat and Jahva together - which is exactly what they did. Sometimes it’s the sweetness of the chocolate, sometimes it’s the bitterness of the coffee, all in one swig. It just kinda clashes, and not in a good way, IMO. I’ll stick to Choklat or Jahva individually in the future.

Dec 26, 2009 Bottle. Pours pitch black with a creamy tan head that left good lacing. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, roasted malts and had a hint of vanilla. Rich and smooth flavor of sweet dark chocolate, roasted coffee, espresso, caramel and a touch of vanilla with a medium plus body and had a nice warming finish. A world class dessert beer.
