Bottle pour into shaker pint glass from One Stop Market. Appearance is almost opaque black--very dark brown with red tint--decent sparkle at the sides of the glass with visible floaties, finger width foamy light brown head with fair retention and fair leggy lacing. Aroma is roasted malts with chocolate. Taste is strong chocolate but not too sweet. Palate is full bodied with creamy, silky smooth texture, average carbonation and dry, crisp finish as taste. Overall, the aroma and taste are pretty straightforward chocolate but the creamy palate really shines and shapes the entire experience. Not complex but very enjoyable if looking for a chocolate stout.

In a flight at the brewery, opaque dark brown with a strong chocolate aroma. The taste of bitter dark chocolate was most intense after the beer warmed. The finish was somewhat cloying.

Tap market place robinson. Nitro and flat of course. Big head head. Nice lacing. Some mild aroma of chocolate, attractive nose. Could use some co2. Disappointing for a choco beer but above average for a nito. More bitter than expected,even for dark choco.
