Pitch black apperance with a tan head. Aroma is chocolate and coffee. Flavor is rich chocolate and caramel. Some coffee notes are present in the flavor. Wow! This is one badass stout. This may be better than Sam Smith’s. This is a must try!

On tap @ Coles Buffalo NY. Sweet chocolate aroma. Smooth creamy body with chocolate flavor. Great dessert beer

Bottle. Dark chocolate flavour, melting to milk choc on the finish - like Cadburys coffee creams (in Milk Tray). Some fresh alcohol on the very front of the tongue, with the aroma going up your nose as you take your swig. Very tasty throughout. Big initial head diminishes to thin band of dark beige. Rich, dark colour.

Bottle. deep black with a hint of blue, has a thick tan head. sweet aroma that is inviting. taste is divine, taste is invigorating, chocolate-obviously- but also has a nice balance of other flavors. the assorted malts come through, and i think the finish is better than the intitial flavor. this begs for another sip.

Sable pour with a mocha head. Serious milk chocolate in the nose. Flavor is more of the same, with some coffee thrown in. Solid!

Black, with somehow a deep purple shine. Dark-greige head, huge but collapsing. Nose gives chocolate, chocolate malt, tobacco, leather, chocolate cake. Taste is essentialy bitter chocolate, roasted malt (which conveys a point of acidity), tobacco of a nicer kind. Unbelievably thin mouthfeel at first, but fills in gradually, as if one would pour cold molten chocolate in water. Long bitter aftertaste, more maltey than chocolatey.

Bottle, many time. Deep chocolate, approachable stout. One of the better Young’s bottles.

I’m sure "sweet stouts" have their place, but after drinking this I realized that I prefer standard stouts. Poured with an almost syrupy consistency. Started with a thick, rich head that disappeared quickly and left very little lacing. Aromas and taste of bittersweet chocolate and overcooked coffee, with a lingering aftertaste of the same. I like cold coffee. I like bittersweet chocolate. I didn’t like it in this beer. Looked much more promisng than it tasted.
