Courtesy of Degarth. Pours dark brown with thin tan head. The aroma is rich roasty malts and chocolate malts mixed with mild toffee and caramel. I also get some burnt malts and vague other notes. Pretty nice thick mouth feel bringing up roasted malts and chocolate malts that are sweetened up with molasses. Into the finish I taste burnt notes, cookies, raisins and prunes.

Sampled at the Capitol City Carnival 2007. This was fantastic. Hazy dark black body with a large frothy brown head. Sweet chocolate and sugar aroma. Very sweet chocolate flavor, lots of sugar. This actually tastes like a chocolate donut.

Fantastic, though I must admit, my expectations were probably just set a bit too high when I tried this beer. I still think this is amazing, a great chocolate flavor, but I was looking to hard for donut, but eventually found it. Very sweet, and I can’t imagine drinking more than one in a sitting, even though I bought the 6 pack.

UPDATE: After having a few more from that 6 pack, I realized that it is even better than I had previously thought, while only one might only be good at a sitting, it’s enough to make this one amazing beer.

ADDITIONAL UPDATE: While I still enjoyed this beer up until its end, I certainly can’t stake the claim that this is one of the best beers out there - it wasn’t. I enjoyed it for what it was, which is enough but I can’t fool myself into thinking that it was one of the best beers I’ve ever had.

Had just a sample glass of this when I was in to bottle my own micro. Poured a deep black with a thin white head. The aroma was sweet with chocolate and malt. I have never had a beer that tasted so much like it’s name. This tastes like chocolate munchkins were thrown in the kettle. Delicious, thick, creamy, sweet, grainy. The only dig on this beer is you might get a little sick of it after 2 or 3 in a row. Great beer though.
