A very dark brown color with a creamy small head. A cocoa/chocolate aroma. A taste of chocolate. Or more like cocoa. Also an aftertaste of dark chocolate.

Dark brown beer, lasting light brown head. Cocoa powdery, kinder milk chocolate aroma , too bad I can smell the toy too. This isn’t like good dark chocolate at all. Weak shit. Mouthfeel is hard and thin. Bitter and roasted taste, the kinder suprise toy truck drives down your throat leaving an artificial sweetness behind. Not my thing at all anymore, used to like this a lot before tasting it again after two years or so.

Pours a dark brown, nice tan head head. Aroma is of roasted malts, yet not very much chocolate in the aroma almost guiness like in its taste and mouthfeel

Canned with nitro insert. This beer just didn’t work for me. The chocolate seemed like an after-thought, like someone spooned cocoa power into an otherwise nondescript beer. Seemed like the beer and chocolate flavor just clashed the whole time. My wife, however, liked it well enough, so she got to finish the rest of this one. :)

Bottled. A deep bodied beer with a well balance of chocolate. Not overbearing sweetness, but enough to let you know its there. Closer to a chocolate cream stout. A great dessert beer

bottle - poured dark brown almost black with small beige head. Aroma - chocolate, vanilla and light coffee scent. Flavor - It does have a chocolate and vanilla taste but not as much as I expected. Not overly sweet and has nice mild bitter finish. Palate - Creamy heavy mouthfeel with little carbonation. Excellent bitter coco/vanilla finish that lingers. Overall - This is a well crafted beer, they combine the sweet taste of chocolate and the bitter taste of beer perfectly. I disagree that it has full flavour but does have good mild flavor!!
