Draft from habitat gp. Dark brown tiny head. Smells of malts and roasted cocoa. Light sweet finish with tiny bitters. Excellent.

12 oz. bottle from Total Wine - Naples, FL. Pours a pitch black color with a light tan head and very good retention. Spotty lacing. Sweet chocolate aroma. The flavor is dark roasted malts and milk chocolate. A good balance of sweet and roasty. Maybe a tad thin for a stout. Medium-light carbonation. Low bitterness. A good dessert beer that's not too sweet for repeated consumption. Well done.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a thin rim of tan foamy head. Speckled lace.
The aroma had sweet and dark chocolate with a little bit of smoke/ash and a light earthy hoppiness at the end.
The flavor was semi-sweet with some of the bitterness of the dark chocolate coming out more as it warmed. Light aftertaste of the milk and dark chocolate playing with the smoke. Same as in the finish.
The palate was between light and medium bodied with a steady sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine as well.
Overall, for a sweet stout, it’s a bit crushable I’d say.

Refrigerated 12oz. Brown bottle poured into a glass. Black with very small light brown head. Aroma is milk chocolate, medium body, lower carbonation, and little small bubble lacing. Taste is milk chocolate. Back to back with Terrapin Liquid Bliss, I prefer Liquid Bliss.

Bottle: Very dark brown with a small tan head. Chocolate fudge, cocoa, vanilla aroma. Sweet chocolate malt, vanilla flavour. Very tasty...though it comes across with BIG powdered chocolate attitude... A little artificial, but pretty good, anyway.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a nice thick, four centimetre tall strong brown coloured head. Aroma of pure chocolate - both dark and milk chocolates with some strong roasted malt, a hint of coffee and spices and a solid nuttiness. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong roasted malt flavour is second fiddle to the pungent and nice chocolate flavours with a great body and slightly syrupy feel. Aftertaste shows some nuts, pit fruits, raisins, roasted earthy malts and of course a lot of chocolate - very nice. Overall, a very good beer with tons of flavour and a rich, syrupy feel that’s perfect for the autumn/winter time - it was even good in the middle of summer, which is when I had it! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle pulled from a Penn Brewing mixed twelve pack, purchased in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 17-July-2013 by Ed - thanks!
