Nitrocan poured into a pint glass. A deep brown stout, decent tan head. Nice chocolately aroma, but the chocolate flavor in this was rather unpleasant to me--tasted overpowering and artificial and, more importantly, the body was fairly thin for the flavor profile, almost watery. It worked pretty well with the desert I was eating, but really not my kind of beer.

Deep dark brown/black color typical of a stout. Evident aroma of chocolate. Mouth feel is thinner that one would expect from a stout. Without the chocolate aftertaste it’s actually fairly bland. But, the chocolate is there if that’s what you’re looking for.

Color is a deep, opaque sable with a decent, fine-bubbled tan head. Aroma is delightful, strong and smoky with firm undertones of chocolate and coffee. Flavor is rich, smoky, with strong chocolate component and coffee undertones - delicious! There is a hoppy undertone, and the aftertaste is hoppy and chocolaty. Highly recommended to all stout/porter fans.

Can. Smells like a Hershy’s Bar. Small hops aroma. Thick, dense tan head that really lasts. Low carbonation, medium heavy body. Creamy and smooth, with chocolate dominating the finish.

Widget. Thick, creamy brown head that looked like the top of a milkshake. Heavy chocolate aroma that reminded me of hershey’s chocolate syrup. Obviously a strong chocolate flavor as well as notes of coffee. Thick, creamy texture. Not my typical kind of beer, but I definitely enjoyed this one.

Beautiful to behold, and interesting... but really chocolate and beer?? Bad idea. Still this is carried off pretty well. In fact it is breathtaking that they can make this drinkable at all. Lovely head and body. Taste a bit ... well chocolatey.

The Color is dark brown, the flavor is creamy from a good stout. With a definite chocolate and coffe aroma. Good finely balanced. Each drink brought an instant piece of heaven to my mouth. The best Stout that i tested.

Poured black with light brown head. Aromas of chocolate (of course), burnt malts, coffee. Starts with moderate sweeetness and chocolate flavors but not too overwhelming. Finishes bitter. Body is medium, not as full as I was expecting. Texture was creamy with a slighly fizzy carbonation. Pretty good but not my thing.
