12oz bottle. Pretty much a Milk Stout, fleshed out some by the cacao syrup. Not really a balance that I enjoy, tastes flavored. Drinkable, but turns pastry and thin instead of leaning into some malt depth.

Wegmans bottle. Dare brown with a small beige head. Cocoa, wet dog, dark chocolate, milk chocolate nose. Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, roasted malt. A little disjointed, a hint of artificial chocolate candy in there, but not bad.

From a bottle, pour is big & black. Not much of a head. Nose is mild sweet dark chocolate. First taste is more coffee than chocolate. Becomes a little difficult and bitter in the middle. Not sure if I'd call this a smooth symphony or not. It's actually a little annoying for a choco beer. A little mouth coating. Good lacing. Yes, in the end its more like coffee than a chocolate beer. Slightly more bitter than was hoping. Can't find any vanilla in here. Good for a tick but probably would not buy again.
