Oct 31, 2008 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.

Oct 30, 2008 Pours jet black with a dark beige-tan head. Thick mouth feel without being syrupy. Aroma not prominent (stye appropriate) but roast malt and chocolate definitely there. Chocolate unsurprisingly prominent in the flavour, but not overwhelmingly so, and helps bridge malt and hop flavours. Roast and chocolate malt flavours and hop bitterness firm but not excessive, with a tight finish. A good dessert beer which would also not be out of place on breakfast cereal (:P)

Oct 30, 2008 I’m new to drinking beer, and working on improving my palate, but I found this beer very bitter and lacking in chocolate taste. I’ve tried it twice and still don’t like it very much. I probably don’t like my beer or ale that bitter, and was expecting more of a chocolate taste, but I couldn’t taste any chocolate. I’ll keep trying, but I don’t think this beer will be a favorite. It’s very dense, almost pure black in appearance, not much head, but it is very light brown.

Oct 29, 2008 Pours jet black, opaque even up to a light source. Has a smaller tan coloured head. Aroma is of chocolate a touch of coffee and nuts. Flavor is of every kind and variation of chocolate there is. Brownies, truffles, semi-sweet, bitter-sweet, milk, tonnes of chocolate. Finnishes with a nice bitter chocolate flavor that hangs around pleasantly. This beer is a vortex of flavor.

Oct 27, 2008 a wonderful beer. Aroma of nuts, malts, dark chocalate. Overall, a very appetising taste but not much chocolateness. Mostly the bitter nuts flavour usually found in stouts it the most prominent flavour. The most interesting part of the beer is teh mouthfeel. It is a fairly light bodied beer with a complex feel. THis is an outstanding beer with nuances that are just right in the unusual type of way.

Oct 25, 2008 12 oz can pour. Great dark brown color, beautiful beige head. Aroma of roasted nuts, malts, and semi-sweet chocolate. Very thin mouthfeel, with a watered-down feel and taste. Somewhat disappointing after such a great apperance and aroma.
