I’ve never had this from a bottle, onle from a widget-containing nitro can. Creates a creamy, smooth mouth feel. Outstanding smooth milk chocolate flavor. Drinkable and enjoyable. Smooth is the best word for this beer.

Pours a five finger light brown head that fades quickly to a ring leaving some lace. Totally black color. Light carbonation and medium=heavy bodied. Malty nose. Flavor is sweet milk chocolate, you can taste the "real dark chocolate" the brewer puts in; smooth finish, very drinkable. $4.10 for a 500ml bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, Ma.

Black pour with a dark tan head. Darkest head I’ve seen since that once night.. nvm. Clingy dark head, sticky. Earthy coco like scent. Strong chocolat taste. Actually at this point the most chocolaty choclat beer I have had. Somewhat like a nice Boozy hot chocolat. Easy to drink. Warhming aftertaste. Damn nice. A little too carbonated but easily forgiven. Like drinking brownies.

Thanks to Juancho. Drank it in Panajachel, Guatemala. I was really disappointed with this one. Very light bodied, tasted more like a chocolate milk than a stout.

Pour looks thick with a dark tan head. Aroma is full of sweet malt, chocolate, some lactose, and oats. Flavor is just like drinking chocolate milk. Palate is real smooth and chocolaty with sweet malts and a hint of bitterness. Real good and easily drinkable beer. Would buy again.

Lovely aroma of chocolate, almost smells like kahlua mixed in with it. Appearence is as one would expect, jet black with a dark mocha brown head. Flavour is perhaps a bit thinner than expected, there is lovely chocolate flavours, again a touch of coffee/kahlua and a gentle but persistant bitterness.

I’d rather this not come in cans, but what an unbelievable stout. A dark chocolate flavor which suggests actual chocolate use and not just flavoring. A heavy winter desert drink.
