126 C'est What Steve's Dreaded Chocolate Orange Ale Canada Porter 3.6

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 7

I've tried this many times and I still don't feel the chocolate and the orange mesh well together. Colour - dark brown, creamy light brown head. Aroma - chocolate. coffee, citrus. Mouthfeel - medium to full bodied. Flavour - all over the place with the roasted flavours very disstinct from the orange flavour, almost like they separate. Overall - decent.
