Brewed with well water (the original well, sunk in 1758, is still in use with the hard water is drawn from 85 feet underground), the gently roasted organic chocolate malt and organic cocoa impart a delicious, smooth and creamy character, with inviting deep flavours and a delightful finish – this is the perfect marriage of satisfying stout and luxurious chocolate.

Optisch tiefschwarz und lichtundurchdringlich. Die hellbraune, fein- bis mittelporige Schaumkrone gibt sich sehr beständig. In der Nase vernimmt man röstige Malznoten von Schokolade, Kakao und Mokka. Der Antrunk kommt frisch, röstig, schokoladig bis mokkaartig und röstig-herb. Das Mundgefühl wird von einem Körper mit mäßiger Fülle geprägt. Feine Rezenz, eine seidig-sämige Textur sowie eine zarte Trockenheit runden das Profil ab. Geschmacklich und aromatisch bleibt es weiterhin röstig malzig und zart süß mit dominanten Noten von Schokolade und Kakao. Dazu legt sich eine passende, leicht trockene Herbe. Dieses Bier hält exakt das was es verspricht - Schokonoten par excellence, zarter Kaffee, zarte Süße, angenehme Trockenheit. Grundsätzlich harmonisch und auch passend, aber je mehr Temperatur dieses Bier bekommt, desto unangenehmer wird die Aromatisierung, desto künstlicher schmeckt sie auch und desto mehr erinnert sie an diese fertigen Schokoaroma-Zusätze für Kaffee. Der Nachtrunk bleibt langlebig schokoladig und geht langsam in eine leicht trockene Herbe über.

Dark impenetrable ruby red black with a good 1cm head. Chocolate all the way on the nose. Vanilla, hint of cola, milky coffee, pocket espresso, hazelnuts. Nice in the mouth, chocolate mocha, sweet coffee. Very well balanced, not cloying, nice lingering coffee notes. Nice novelty.

Bottle from Aldi mixed six-pack. Black pour with brown highlights and a thick tan foam. Smell is mostly sweet chocolate. Taste is nice. Rich Hershey's Kiss note. Not much roasted malt, but it's not missed. Nicer of the Sam Smith imports.

Can, best before Oct 29, 2027, drunk Oct 18, 2025 at The Abbey, Brookline.
Clear, dark. Small, light tan head, low retention.
Smells of big cocoa character. Chocolatey, syrupy, milky, sugary, yet somehow, not off-putting. But very adjunct-dominated. Very minimal roast or beer character.
Same goes for the flavor, which is, to be fair, quite flavorful, with a medium body that has just the right amount of soft chewiness to it. Sweet and comforting. Somehow compelling in flavor and texture despite little/no complexity or much in the way of beer character.

Fles gedeeld door Roelzie.hwt is een diep donkerbruin tot zwart bier met een volle bruinige schuimkraag. Het heeft een aroma van chocolade. De smaak is vol melk chocolade achtig.
