Originally labelled as Chocolate Tom. Label was changed to read Old Tom With Chocolate circa 2011.
Old Tom with chocolate is an indulgent rich combination of Robinsons’ award winning Old Tom and the finest cocoa. It is a superior full bodied strong ale filled with the flavour of ripe malt and velvety smooth chocolate teased together with an inspired touch of Madagascan bourbon vanilla.
Chocolate Tom is a deliciously indulgent addition to the Old Tom range, with a recipe developed by Robinsons and the renowned chocolatier Simon Dunn.

Bottled. Pours brown colour with long lasting off-white head. Roasted malts, dried fruits and strong chocolate notes in aroma. In taste it’s pleasant chocolate first but then some strange acerbic notes appear that ruin the finish. Softly carbonated, light bodied.

Bottle 0,5ltr: Another brew with my favorite one-eyed brewery cat on it. The dark brown coloured chocolate version. I like this one, not so extreme of taste like other chocolate beers. Its got the sweet bitternesh due the fine chocolate they used.

330 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 6.0%. Mahogany coloured beer with a thick off-white to beige head. Strong and dominant sweetish aroma of chocolate and vanilla, not unpleasant, but pretty close ... The flavour has loads of cocoa and vanilla, on a malty base with some vinous notes, but the beer is not nearly as sweet as the aroma made me fear. There are some moderate hops in the finish. This is a nice change-of-pace beer, but I would normally prefer the "ordinary" Old Tom.

Bottle. Dark brown color. Milk chocolate, grapes and apple syrup in the aroma. Sweet, almost sugary flavor with grapes and chocolate powder. Thinnish. Tastes artificial somehow.

Bottle Bit barrique notes on nose with some chocolate. On a tongue it has sticky texture, smokey, sweetish. It's okay.

Bottle. Pours murky dark brown with medium foamy head. Some caramel, some lemon, chocolate, some lactose, a bit coffee. Dry bitterness, some sweetness and some sourness. Light bodied, waters texture, low carbonated, dry finish. Not bad.

6% alk, pivo sa okusom čokolade. Ajd može se reći da ima malo mirisa i okusa po kakaou i čokolade, ali ništa previše. Ali uglavnom, dosta dobra piva vrijedna probanja.
