650 ml capped bottle. Poured in a snifter a dark, dark-brown, close to black, coloured C S with a one finger fine, dense, creamy and tan foamy head that had a very long retention and tons of micro bubbles. Low carbonation. Good lacing. The aroma is roasted malts, milk chocolate, coffeish notes, spicy, vanilla, licorice. The flavour is a huge bar of dark chocolate, cocoa powder, coffeish notes, roasted malts. The mouthfeel is light crispy, sparkling, creamy, fulled and thick. The texture is oily. This full bodied C S has a dry dark bitter chocolate finish. A nice pleasure to drink a heavy cold dark chocolate with an alcoholic touch and an emerging warming feeling.

Purs a dark black/brown with a three finger, chocolate milk colored head. No transparrency. Aroma is very chocolaty and eliminates any other aroma it would otherwise have. Taste is very chocolaty with hints of roasted malts, toffee, and a hint of alcohol. Finishes off bitter and dry to the throat. A very good chocolate stout all around but it feels a little watered to me.

Pours a black color. Smell is strong of chocoalte, some malts. Taste is chocolate, a touch of malts and some hop bitterness. Feels creamy in the mouth and overall is a high quality beer.

pours a good mix of browns/black color and a nice medium sized brown head with some good cling and lace. The aroma was huge malty roast notes with plenty of rich creamy chocolate on the nose. A bit of a semi-sweet aromas come up as well. The taste was a chocolate stout, a bit prickly at points and semi-smooth. A tad bit of coffee flavors on the back. The mouthfeel was medium body with a light medium semi creamy carbonation. A touch prickly and bitter on the finish. Must point out that Stouts and Porters are my least favorite style of beer.

I have to love a beer that smells like cocoa puffs right? Super rich brown/black. Smell is actually more complex than a simple breakfast cereal, but you know, first impressions. Taste has a good robust roast and bitterness, not as much chocolate as expected and not sweet at all. Great drinking stout, look forward to the next one.

From Pt Roberts (WA), in a bomber. A two-fingered creamy brown head and a murkly black body to begin. m Chocolate, coffee, roasted malt for the nose. Flavour had lots of bitter dark chocolate and the malt, with a nice segue to sweetness at the finish. Creamy smooth mouthfeel. Damned fine beer.

I tried this beer on August 5, 2011 at "The Beerbistro" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a brownish black with a generous creamy brown head. The aroma was dark chocolate, roasted malt, and molasses. The mouthfeel is creamy and full bodied with mild carbonation. The flavour is dark chocolate, with hints of vanilla and toffee.

I've never understood why this wasn't available everywhere. This is a great chocolate beer. While I prefer the Young's Double Chocolate Stout, this will do in a pinch.

Long time waiting to try this one. Color is beautiful dark, black dull with a little creamy copper head. Smells like rich dark bold chocolate, and strong malts. Tastes almost like chocolate milk, except it's lighter in texture and will give you an extra boost on the buzz.
