Just tried this beer yesterday and loved it! Sad to see it’s retiered I’ll have to find more of it while I can.

Very dark with a lovely thick head. Chocolate attacks the nose a bit along with some coffee. Not sickly at all and a pleasant long finish. I’ve had this on tap at the old brewery and many a bottle but I have noticed a recent drop in the consistency of bottles.

Maybe the best palate of any beer I’ve ever tasted, just creamy chocolate with a hint of coffee and malt behind it. Tastes like a candy bar or maybe hershey syrup. I bet this beer would be outstanding over vanilla ice cream and think I should probably try that soon.

pours a very dark brown with a nice thick tan head, moderately carbonated, smooth and highly flavored from start to finish with notes of dark chocolate, coffee, and dark roasted grains. did I mention that it is creamy - definitly creamy. This is a stout that I like and is in the same taste category as Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout which I would also recommend.

Um soooo good, no joke. On tap at the Beer Engine. The smell alone is ridiculous -- like super smooth sweet dark chocolate blended with sweetened condensed milk. The flavor is surprisingly much much lighter than the aroma would suggest. Smooth, delicious, happiness in a glass.

Had on draft at The Ginger Man, NY. Dark and oh so chocolaty.... mmm good. Was very smooth not too full, but not watery. Was great, good for those that don’t typically like stouts. Creamier than Guiness and a bit smoother, but a bit more basic of a flavor.

This beer is actually dessert like. Most chocolatey beer I’ve ever had. Very smooth, creamy texture, but not so much that it has the characteristics of a milk stout. Definitely get the bottle, not the cans, it’s a huge upgrade. If there’s a downside, it’s that it’s the flavor is more one-note than other beers of this caliber.

Pours a dark black color with a small tan head. Laces well. Smells of chocolate, coffee, malt, and smoke. Taste is strong of chocolate kind of like a caffe mocha. Really good balance of bitter taste at the end. Excellent beer with a big flavor. Very satisfying.
