Nice Black color with beige head.Aroma is very sweet chocolate with some coffee.The only thing that leaves this brew a little less then other of this style is it’s kind of boring texture and has not much of a body. This is the kind of brew to initiate friends to different type of beer.

The nitrogen capsule is released on opening the can. Rich, dark pour with a thick creamy, tan head that lingers. Sweet, chocolate malt aroma with hints of toasted coffee and vanilla. Medium, creamy body with mild carbonation, and a light watery finish. Mild, toasted coffee and dark chocolate flavor with a touch of nuttiness and very little bitterness. No remarkable aftertaste. Tasty, but not overpowering. I could easily drink several in a session. The flavor is more apparent when not too cold.

500ml bottle. Very interesting, doubtless due to the addition of chocolate. It does not in fact taste strongly of chocolate, rather its addition serves to strengthen the coffee flavours of the stout itself. It is strongly reminiscent of a coffee-filled chocolate indeed. A bizarre, yet rewarding, beer.

The appearance of this beer is very think and dark. The head is creamy and white. The taste has a hint of chocolate and is very smooth going down.

A: Pours dark black like any stout with a nice thick khaki head. There is minimal lacing. It’s your average looking stout. S: The aromas from this glass are quite nice. Chocolate, Chocolate, and more Chocolate. The chocolate aroma is nice and sweet, milk chocolate. Warm this baby up and you would have the makings of some nice cocoa. T: The aroma matches the taste. Tons of nice roasted malt comes rushing at you with a wallop of chocolate. The chocolate is semi sweet in taste. Gets to be a bit much though. M: Medium in body drinks like your average stout.

Bottle. Poured black with a medium brown head. Aroma was full of chocolate notes, both sweet and bitter, with an undertone of coffee. Flavor began with sweet chocolate and had more of a bitter chocolate finish.
