Brown our, some light foamy head, stays. Nose has dry cocoa, chocolate, light fruity, mainly tart. Taste is sour, light roast, fruity but a bit too sour, dry. Somewhat flawed probably, other than that, does not work to well.

Looking at the other reviews, it seems I am the contrarian as I really liked this one. Maybe it just needed time to meld or I got a bottle from a good batch, I don't know...
This year’s Sankt Gallen Brewery Valentine’s variant is the: Annin Chocolate Stout 6%
Inky black with a tan verging on rusty head of foam that is pillowy with impressive staying power. The aroma is a bit nutty, a bit nutty and full of toasty dark chocolate. It smells great. Medium to light bodied and dry, the taste is nutty and lightly roasty. Quite easy drinking, after the great nose I was expecting something with a bit more oomph but this is still better than any of Sankt Gallen’s variants from the last 3-4 years.

Bottle. Lovely black with a huge brown head. Roasted malty nose, chocolate, vegetables, nuts, cherry, annin dofu. Weird. Rather strong medicinal taste, chocolate, roasted nuts, strange flavor of the sweet nutty tofu. Bad idea.
