Pours a cloudy dark brown (almost black), with no head. Light and odd aromoa of powdered chocolate (Nestle Quik). Odd, overly sweet flavor of hot cocoa mix. Palate is thin and watery. Nothing more than a weak gimmick beer.

Jul 17, 2008 Pours transparent brown with a fizzy tan head that is gone in about 10 seconds. Nice powdered chocolate and nutty aroma. The flavor and body are hugely disappointing, has hints of flavor present in the aroma but they are very muted. Pathetic palate, very thin and watery, leaves zero lacing. Very disappointing beer, could have been pretty good with a little more body and character. I’m ashamed I paid $10 for this 6pack.

Jul 16, 2008 Darkish brown pour, tan head. Smells of the mentioned cocoa. Quite a bit of cocoa, but not enough sweetness or maltiness to balance so it was a bit sour. Pretty clean finish. Not terrible, but I think they could have done better.

Jul 9, 2008 Bottle dated October 2006: This poured brown in color with a moderate beige head. The nose is a bit oxidized with scents of chocolate, sweet & sour sauce and nuts. In the mouth it is qutie sour…and that’s about it. Only the sourness shows through at this point. This did not age well.

Jun 28, 2008 Updated: Jul 6, 2008Pours dark brown, nearly black with a small tan head. Aroma of cocoa, similar to that of powder cocoa mix. Slight flavor of coffee but finishes with a bitter dark chocolate taste. Very thin taste and appearance. not too impressive.

Jun 20, 2008 Pours a dark nutty brown colour, small tan head. Aroma is very sweet, and nutty of course, enticing- of almonds, ginger and cocoa. Light mouthfeel, nicely carbonated, but a little too sweet for me. Cocoa flavors all around. but too rich for my palate.
