Oh my God I love this beer! I have never had a beer with more chocolate flavor in my life! If you like your beer sweet, you will love this one. It’s like a Guinness but with more chocolate and more flavor. I drink these too quickly sometimes. It’s not hard to do. It’s a damn near perfect beer to me. Yum!

pub can @ redlight redlight.... Pours black with tan cascading bubbled into a dense tan head. Lactic sugars, hints of milk chocolate with vanilla and slight hints of coffee. Watery chocolate flavor, like Yahoo (i hate Yahoo) creamy roasted malts with some vanilla and slight hints of coffee. Not my favorite chocolate stout.

Pours almost a chocolate milk color and settles almost black; thick head, though not as thick as, say, Guinness. Palate is a bit lighter than I was expecting for a stout, but b no means weak. Chocolate taste is VERY pronounced and it gets stronger as the beer warms. Overall, this is an excellent beer!

Come to papa... Yessir, this’n is a fine beer. A true delight. A mastery of brewing prowess. Poured with a very fine creamy tan head. Opaque almost black color. abundant chocolate character. Fine carbonation. Everything is in superb balance. Good finish, but perhaps not really a session beer. Still, it’s one of the best of its class. Having a draught of this at Bodega Brew Pub downtown La Crosse, Wis. USA

pours pitch black, heavy chocolate malt aroma! The taste is pretty much the same, smooth chocolate with some bitterness at the end, very creamy and delicious. This is one stout i’ve returned to for a while now!

too much chocolate and not even gourmet chocolate. otherwise reasonably balanced, good aroma, imo far from the stout elite.

500ml bottle, 5.2% a/v Pours opaque black, with a surprisingly large head for a stout. Aroma is subdued and consists of chocolate and deep purple grape j uice. Taste is very chocolatey, almost mocha chocolate, giving way to a very mildly bitter aftertaste. Fairly sweet, almost too much so for my tastes. Still a good brew but not too rich to have alot of it.
