On tap at Samo Pivo in Belgrade-Serbia. Pours dark brown black, incredible ivory foam. Nose: sweetened cocoa, chocolate, cocoa powder on cappuccino. Crazy! Nice. Mouth: completely mirrors the nose, totally. Frizzy finish. Truly nice and amazingly different. For cocoa lovers. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draft at IMBC 2015. Extra appearance point for the deScription - "like a beer grown at your gran’s house." Huge chocolate aroma and rich cocoa taste, but it retains its beery characteristics. Very nice.

Draught @ Thornbridge Den Bosch. Dark brown color with a deep dark red glare coming through when held into the light, medium sized creamy beige head. Aroma is malts, lots of cocoa but unfortunately also some (Dutch) "hopjesvla". Taste malts, cocoa, dark chocolate, quite bitter, lightly that hopjesvla flavor again. Medium body and carbonation.

Bottle, 0.50l. clear almost black color with ruby undertone, thin creamy light brown color and sparkling appearance. Aroma of chocolate, cocoa, roasted malt, caramel and coffee. Taste starts with moderate sweet toffee and strong chocolate, following is grassy with dried fruits’ note, vanilla and sherry, mouthfeel is mild spicy, while finish is light bitter. Medium to full body, creamy texture and average carbonation in palate. Certainly not a member of beer wonderland...

Bottle from Dranken Geers. Dark brown, beige foam. Medium carbonation. Sweet nose of caramel and lots of cocoa. Don’t like the nose. Taste of roasted malts with bitter coffee notes, but cocoa is overpowering everything. Not my cup of tea.

Bottled 500ml. -from Pivoljub Ljubljana. Nearly full black coloured, medium sized creamy tan head, pure cocoa powder in the nose. Roasted malt, chocolate (ice cream like), cocoa and hazelnut with what else than chocolate and cocoa in the finish. Only two words can describe this beer: chocolate and cocoa. Just read the name on the label and don’t expect nothing less than that. Again Thornbridge rocks.

Dark brown to almost black, strong tan creamy head with nice lacing. Aroma is of milk chocolate, cocoa nib and roasted coffee. Taste is medium sweet caramel, milky chocolate, cocoa, bitter chocolate with a bittersweet cocoa dryish finish. Medium+ bodied, creamy, moderate carbonation. Cocoa wonderland is a very accurate description!
