On draught - Opaque black with a white head. Aroma is malty and chocolate. The taste is deep, sweet malt and chocolate - but not TOO much. A very nice flavor blend with just a hint of hops in the finish. Creamy and smooth - a very nice beer and I have one whenever I can.

500 mL bottle. Pours a jet black with moderate tan head. Aroma is of rich chocolate, fudge, caramel - very sweet. Flavour is very rich and satisfying, with a lingering sweetness. Fantastic.

The beer pours black with a nice light brown head. The nose is a combination of roasted malts and sweet lactic sugar. The taste is what you would expect; chocolate with a slightly bitter note. The finish is short. A very nice beer.

500mL bottle purchased from LCBO in Toronto. Pours black with a small white head. Excellent lacing. Weak aroma. First taste is a bit tangy from carbonation and I can tell that I need to leave this beer to warm a bit before reviewing further. Now that I’ve let it warm, it is better, but not signigificantly so. Slightly creamy, hints of chocolate, but not a particularly strong flavour. As it warms even further (1.5 hours out of the fridge), it does improve and the flavours become more pronouced - particularly the chocolate.

draft. wow. i was not expecting this to be so good. pours creamy brown with a tan head and huge cascading action as it settles. big cocoa flavor and milky, creamy palate. i loved how dry this was. lets you bask in the malt flavors, and not get bogged down by sweetness. so smooth. i will be picking this up to stash away. so good.
