Aroma of cocoa, grainy and dirt. Taste is chocolate with some oatmeal. A bit thin, and watery. Not horrible. corby112 (671), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 13, 2009 Pours pitch black and completely opaque without even the slightest hint of lighter edges even when held to a light source and a one finger frothy coffee colored head that quickly fades into a lasting ring.
Roasted malt aroma with lots of bitter dark chocolate, coffee bean, toffee, toast, oatmeal and nut. This beer smells pretty roasty but is also balanced out by a chocolate sweetness.
Thinner body than I expected that is heavily carbonated and slightly watered down with some light roasted malt notes and bittersweet chocolate. Other than that there are some faint, subtle hints of oatmeal, dark chocolate, nut, subtle hops, toast and toffee. This has a similar texture to that of a soda with some fizzy carbonation and syrupy cola like chocolate flavors. There is also some faint lactic creaminess there. This beer is very bland and somewhat flavorless. A huge letdown after the nice appearance and decent aroma.
