Commercial Description:
The Terrapin ""Dos Cocoas"" gets its name from the deep history of chocolate and the two forms of Ecuadorian cocoa we use in this exceptional beer. Brewed with 100% cocoa powder, and aged on a bed of pure cocoa nibs, the chocolate flavor in this beer is so mouth watering it will even make Wonka jealous.

Comes out of the tap a deep sable, opaque and almost black, with a nice tan head. Aroma is not strong but appetizing, like a fine mocha with some malty hints. Flavor is strong, like quality roast coffee with a chocolaty undertone and nutty and caramel hints, as well as a touch of sweetness. Texture is very smooth and not at all watery.

Courtesy of Skyview. Black color with a large head. Light chocolate malt aroma. Nothing light about the chocolate flavor though. Very strong along with a sweet and roasted malt base. Some English earthy hops towards the finish. Excellent brew.

Black pour with small tan head that quickly dissipated. This smells and tastes exactly like a dark chocolate bar of expensive vintage. Great stuff, makes you want to put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Bottle pours deep black with thin tan head. Aroma is roasted malt and nice cocoa. First taste is slight roast malt and some nice cocoa. Slightly oily from the nibs. The finish is clean and crisp with a linger of mocha. I really like this speciality porter.

On tap at the Brick Store. Tons of chocolate. Light body for a porter. The roasty quality isn’t overpowering, and the chocolate is present from the beginning to end. Yum.

Bottle at Papsø. Dark brown coloured with a medium sized beige head. Roasted aroma of dark chocolate and cocoa beans with notes of rye bread. Roasted flavour of caramel, dark chocolate, rye bread and cocoa beans. Roasted finish.

Pours out black brown with lite foam. Smells sweet and roasty. Taste is the same with nice cocoa flavor. Nice coffee and chocolate flavors, dry finish. Thinner than some, very drinkable, good brew.

Picked up a single 22-oz bomber via trade with KieferUGA. Pours an opaque dark brown brew with a thick and lumpy tan head that slowly dissipates. Aroma of mostly powdered baking chocolate with some toasted dark malt, a hint of coffee and some molasses. Taste continues the chocolate presence medium bodied with additional flavors of toasted dark malt, some molasses, roasted nuts and caramel. Finish is semi-sweet with a short lived chocolate aftertaste that even goes down smooth. NIcely done.
