Draught at Flying saucer. Very very dark, nearly black color. Almost no head when it arrived at my table. Aroma was surprisingly chocolaty and smelled like a real chocolate bar. The taste was a hint of chocolate but just enough to be very enjoyable and refreshing. No bad aftertaste, finished very smooth and creamy.

From a bottle poured dark brown with a fair amount of head. Nice chocolatey malty flavor with a quick finish.

Poured an attractive dark color that was almost black with a nice tan head that dissipated rather quickly. Aroma is of chocolate and coffee. Taste is also of chocolate with just a touch of coffee. It is sweet with not as much hop character as Rogue’s offering. I thought the mouthfeel was a bit on the thin side. I liked it, however, and it was pretty damn drinkable.

Bottle. Pours a thick thick brown almost black with a creamy brown head, feathery and silky and it lingers. Smells like raw chocolate, roasty, almost burnt, sweet and very malty. Tastes nutty, roasty, malty sweet followed by bitternes, and very sticky. It wouldbe hard to drink this one fast, but why would you want to? Its worth taking your time on this one.

500 mL bottle. Pours ultra dark brown but not jet black with a nice, one finger, dark tan head. Great lacing! Aroma is cocoa, roasted malt, nuts, and milk chocolate. Taste is slightly watery- close to Guinness Draught- but still creamy on the palate. Aftertaste is short and neutral with milk chocolate. Overall, excellent and a pleasure to drink.

Bottle. Dark brown colour with a nice light brown head. Malty aroma with some cocoa. The flavour is sweet, roasted malt, chocolate and a hint of coffee. Medium-bodied and quite smooth mouthfeel. Tasty brew.

Bottle. The beer is dark brown with small white head. The first zip is good but during the beer it becomes kind of flat.

Ale with natural chocolate flavor added. Pours a lot like a Guinness stout. A thin aroma of sweetened and roasted wheat with a hint of chocolate. Supposedly tastes better warm so I’m rating it at room temperature. Tastes of unsweetened chocolate. Very rich and creamy but also a little watery.
