Pours black with a small tan head. It smells of chocolate, roast malt, and coffee. The flavor is sweet with lots of chocolate. It avoids straying into sugar bomb territory. There’s some booze evident and it’s full bodied. Very tasty. It could to have a roastier character.

12 oz. bottle from Total Wine. Pours a pure black color with a light brown head and good retention. Minimal spots of lacing. Faint chocolate aroma. Roasted chocolate malts flavor with a roasty and warming finish. Fairly subtle mix of flavors, and not as sweet as I expected for a dessert beer. Definitely a sipper. Medium-heavy body. Light carbonation. Some bitterness from the dark chocolate. The 9.0% ABV is somewhat hidden, but you feel it in the finish, especially as it warms.

Cask at GBBF 2022, Olympia, London. A dark brown/black coloured pour with a medium beige head on top. Roasty, malty, chocolate, coffee taste & aroma. Pleasant enough stout but too warm on cask, should be on keg.

12 ounce bottle thanks to maniac! 6/17/22. Dark brown, thin tan head. Aroma of chocolate, cocoa, brownies. They're going for intense chocolate, and and least in the aroma, they got it. Taste is cherry, roast, chocolate, chocolate brownies. A bit thin. Nice beer.
