Didn’t initially think much when I poured, the head looked fluffy, not creamy, however, the aroma was wonderful and as for the taste...WOW, I wish I could drink this on tap as I would drink it all day long. The idea of chocolate stout didn’t appeal to but it certainly does now. Excellent Rerate 26th March 2008 Only new observations added; Spice in the aroma, nutmeg in particular, chocolate is dominant throughout the aroma and the flavour, with a cinnamon-malt finish yum

It's double chocolatey. Um Hum. Mixed feelings in it being yet another of Young's marketing bits, but it also works. Nearly too much in some respects - sweet, and while I like chocolate ... I prefer it separated from my beer by a degree. Belgian ales and Belgian chocolate do it for me. This is okay.

(bottle) lovely black with nice tan head (no lace). Aroma of coffee and chocolate. Flavor is the same-roasted coffee and black chocolate. Would be a good stout for a beer float

50 cL bottle. Pours out nice and dark with a tan head like any other stout. Hints of dry chocolate in the aroma. The flavor seemes slightly thin but at least it did not try to overpower you with chocolate. Nice but missing some complexity of similar stouts.

Solid black in color with thick tan head. Aroma of cocoa with a hint of mint. Excellent chocolate flavor with some coffee and toffee. Silky body and smooth finish. Good.

Black in color, medium/small khaki head. Aroma is strong of chocolate, roasted malt, and coffee. Sweet grain flavor on the front end. Flavor gets more and more chocolatey as you swallow, and finishes with a very decent hop bite on the back end. The aftertaste seemed to increase in hops with every passing sip. Overall, a great beer, and an excellent stout.

Nitro Tap... this is a very convincing brew. Dark tone and thick, frothy, light brown head. It’s appearance was so good that it looked fake. Amazing sweet, chocolate malts on the nose. Smooth palate with flavors of malt, chocolate, sweet sugars and a dab of hops to even it out. Every sip was a delectable treat.
