Bottle. Very nice aroma. Dark brown color with a nice dark and large head that lasted quite a while. Nice chocolate flavor reminisient of dark chocolate. Pleasant surprise was the flavor of the hops not being overwhelmed by the chocolate and other malts. A very nice treat.

Draft. This bottle of fudge, with some beer notes, was a different drink for me. It was great as a dessert after some pizza. Not very complex, but well crafted for what it is and what it claims to be.

A nitro-can from unclemattie via trade. Thanks again! The pour was black as night with the reverse cascading, thick tan head forming perfectly. Nice lacing. The initial aroma is lightly roasted malt and then the chocolate came forth. As it opens up the chocolate takes over and blankets over some light hop spiciness. The flavor is a nice blend of chocolate and roasted, sugary malts. The mouthfeel is medium bodied. Like Guinness, only better. A nice guilty pleasure. Thanks!

500ml brown bottle. Dark brown with reddish highlights. Very heady - holds a good 2 fingers worth of fluffy foam for quite a while and leaves some spotty lace. Nose is chocolate malt with trace black coffee. Roasty flavour, coffee beans, dark chocolate, minerals. Aftertaste of roasted malts and coffee, fairly dry. Soft mouthfeel, light carbonation, good drinkability. An old favourite of mine that still holds up well.

On draft at Newport Pizza and Ale. This is an insane stout! Looks like a Rolls Royce in the glass, the nose is sweet and deep with rich malts, vanilla and chocolate deliciousness. The favor has an awesome vanilla kick and warm chocolate malts with little bittering quality, silky smooth. Mouthfeel is a creamy swanky kind of texture. I love this stout, if it’s not to obvious~

Wow!! What a beer, bottled version found it in Stirling. Jet black colour wafting of chocolate, mocha and roast malt. The chocolate really comes through on the palate witha hint of sweetness, but it finishes dry. The palate weight let me down a little, this was my first time to try this and I expected it to be more full bodied. But a great beer none the less.
