Dark brown pour into thick creamy tan head that dissipates into sticky lacing on the side of the glass. Aroma of sweet dark chocolate, almost fudge. Creamy mouthfeel with an initial flavor of roasted malt and sweet dark chocolate. Slightly buttery finish with lingering bitter chocolate aftertaste. There was only one of these left on the singles shelf and now I know why. I’ll be seeking out a few more of these!

Bottle. Poured a very dark brown, almost black, with a nice sized brown head.Taste was very chocolaty with a slight bitterness at the finish. Not a bad beer... just not my style.

# 1662 ersma: bier und schoko - das passt gut. haben doch viele dunkle ohnehin schoko-noten. das bier ist als schwarz zu bezeichnen, aber nur in ermangelung dunklerer farben. recht viel bräunlicher schaum, der ale-typisch recht flüchtig ist. geruch ist süßlich mit deutlicher schoko-note. der antrunk ist herb-bitter. das aroma von schokolade ist deutlich, aber nicht penetrant. des weiteren kaffee und lakritz, welche schön mit der schokki harmonieren, welche durch die deutlichkeit süßer wirkt als der übliche aromahauch anderer dunkler biere. die mitte ist malziger, wobei die ale-typische bittere im hintergrund vorhanden bleibt, ebenso wie die schokolade. gegen ende drehen die aromen noch mal auf - schoko und kaffee vor allem, hier hats auch etwas von pflaume. röstig. die hauseigene flasche hat wie immer merkwürdige farbzusammenstellungen, hier lila, gold, orange. fazit: trinkschokolade mochte ich schon immer. is man bloß gut, dass die engländer kein reinheitsgebot haben und daher in der lage sind, wirklich spannende biere zu brauen. unbedingt probierenswert.

500 ml bottle. Black color, frothy tan head. Roasted malt aroma. Smooth dark chocolate flavor with a dry finish. Medium body, medium carbonation. Straightforward but nice.

0,5l bottle. Very dark color, good rich head. Nose includes chocolate, vanilla and tobacco. Flavor is quite roasted, with espresso and chocolate tones. A very nice and classic brew.

On draught at New World Brewery. Dark color, nice head. Chocolate. As good as you’re going to do for a chocolate stout.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Black with a dark tan head. Smells of chocolate and tobaco. Tastes of an unusualy sweet chocolate.
