YUM. Bottle. Very dark, pours thick with a brown head. "Double chocolate" is right - in both aroma and flavor. Hint of roasted malt. Rich creamy feel.

Strong scent of chocolate with fairly strong chocolate undertones in taste. Very smooth finish, highly recommended.

Draft at Small Bar. Brown hue with thick creamy tan head and huge lacing. Nose is a chocolate milkshake with light roast. Flavor is creamy milk chocolate with a hint of dark chocolate on the edges, touch of sweet marshmallow and grassy English hop flavor, finishes like a Wendys Smoothie. Full-bodied, creamy silky texture, modest carbonation. A very easy drinking and flavorful chocolate stout, the alcohol presence is nil and the body is fluffy like a cloud. Yummy!

On nitro tap at the Ye Olde Falconers pub in Fort Lauderdale. Poured a dark brown color with a creamy, two finger tan head. The aroma was heavy with chocolate and roasted malt. The flavor was bitter chocolate, milk chocolate and hints of coffee and roasted malt. This was an excellent beer.

Pours dark ebony with a thick cardboard colored head that lasts a long time and leaves plenty of lacing. Aroma is roast malts, english hops, chocolate, and walnuts. Flavor is sweet and smooth, rich chocolate and roast malts, bitter hops to start. Finishes off a little drier with a nice slightly bitter hop tingle and some of the lingering roast and chocolate to back it up. Mouthfeel is thick but not overly sticky feels alot drier than it tastes, carbonation is at an almost perfect level. Overall a great chocolate stout, one of my favorites

only my second chocolate stout, but its definitely a keeper. Dark color, nice head. Good chocolate and molasses aroma and the taste follows through, with a bitter finish. Its a bit sweet, but good for a savory sipper. I split one 500ml bottle with 5 people and we were all satisfied at the end.
