This is the finest, purest black cocoa straight from the source: the rugged mountains of Brazil, where chocolate is life. We smuggled these beans back to our brewhouse, where they were blended with creamy milk porter and fragrant Madagascar vanilla beans. Get cocoa'd up.

Thanks to Greg for sharing the bottle! Poured into a taster showing translucent coffee with sparse latte foam. The nose is pure milk chocolate (think Hersheys). The palate is light bodied and foamy, well carbonated. The palate shows nothing but chocolate. Moderate sweetness but this is made for dessert. Perfect porter qualities though - light bodied, foamy and goes down easy.

Bottle shared at Ratebeer Tokyo W & CB Tasting. Thanks Gregg P! Huge hot chocolate nose with clear cacao nib and vanilla notes. Slightly thin body, but the flavors come though so strong on the palate. Lots of cacao in here. Rich and palate-coating. Not overly sweet at all. Dry and lightly bitter cacao nib finish. Liked this one a lot. --- Beer merged from original tick of Funky Buddha Nib Smuggler Chocolate Milk Porter on 11 Feb 2016 at 00:15 - Score: 8. Original review text: Thanks Greg!!!!

Medium brown color. Big chocolate nib and vanilla nose. Sweetish but not too sweet. Tons of brownies and lingering vanilla finish. Very nice

Bottle at the Rate Beer Awards Festival Hotel Bottle Share. Nose of chocolate, coffee, vanilla. Very sweet vanilla, chocolate, and lactose creamy flavor. Too sweet and additive-infested for me.

Bottle received in trade from MeadMe, thanks for the opportunity! solid black with a huge frothy off white head. Huge chocolate aromas and flavor. Chocolate milk porter is right, and its pretty damn good too.
