Black ale with aromas and flavours of vanilla, dark chocolate, bourbon and roasted malt. The vanilla and cocoa marry nicely, without out-competing each other, to produce a surprisingly well balanced beer. This beer is mildly hoppy, but the cocoa introduces a touch of bitterness. Its colour may be intimidating, but it is a very smooth beer within reach of most beer drinkers. This highly appreciated dessert beer is brewed with organic fair-trade cocoa and first rate vanilla beans.

16 ounce can labeled as Aphrodite, from Pinocchio’s Beer Garden in Media, PA. What a find. The number 2 highest rated “Flavored Pastry Stout” in the World! Opaque black pour. Frothy dark tan head is enduring. Roasted malt aroma is redolent of dark chocolate. Remarkably smooth mouthfeel upfront. Bittersweet dark chocolate, vanilla and bitter, peppery hops. Outstanding.

11.5oz bottle from Luekens Wine and Spirits, Seminole. Very dark, almost black, also no head. Hazelnut aroma, a little bit of chocolate malt, vanilla. Sweet taste, more chocolate and some caramel, with a chalky bitterness rounding out the finish. Body’s quite watery, surprisingly. Low carbonation. Not bad by any means but I don’t get the exceptionally high rates.

Herrliches Röstaroma, Schokolade, Vanille. Im Trunk erst cremig schokoladig, dann bitter röstig, sehr schöne Geschmacks-Choreografie, sehr lecker.

Ein tiefschwarzes Bier mit wenig Schaum. Und vom Aroma her ist es einfach nur wunderbar: Es hat tolle Aromen nach Vanille, Kakao, Dunkelschoko, Zimt und nochmals Vanille. Das ganze in einer Harmonie, die seinesgleichen sucht. Das einzige, das ich bemänglen könnte, ist dass es keine schöne Schaumkrone hat. Hat mir wirklich sehr gut gefallen.
