Originally rated December 2004. Sampled at Vineyards in Ottawa. Poured a dark colour with red highlights and a brown head with spots of lacing. Aromas were of coffee and had quite a bitter scent. The taste was slightly bitter with a mild chocolat finish. Also, there was a small fruity taste to the mouth. Mouthfeel was smooth and slightly creamy.

Deep brown body, medium tan head. Strong roasted malt aroma with touches of coffee and dark chocolate. Thin, somewhat sour, acidic body, with chocolate (Hershey’s syrup) and roasted malt, neither too sweet nor too dry, but somewhat unpleasant. The remainder tastes like stale toast, the kind that was burned and left on the counter for several hours. A disappointing beer.

Bottle: Poured a pitch black porter with a timid head with almost no retention. Aroma is quite sweet with some notes of roasted malt. Taste is very representative of the name, i.e. tons of sweet chocolate with some roasted malts. Would make a great combo with some chocolate cake. Lack a bit of bitterness and body to make truly world class but still very much enjoyable.

Deep dark beer with no head. Sweet cocoa aroma. Nice sweet chocolate mat with some vanilla, but the body is one dimensional, watery.

Dark brown. Found it reasonably dry, medium bodied and roasty. .............

Dark brown w/ thin head; has a Hershey's syrup - type chocolateyness that is not only slightly cloying but really clashes with the astringent roastiness of the brew. Some may like this beer, but I don't.
