On October 13, 2007, at our Brewery Tenth Anniversary Party (Waffles and Puppets) we introduced Ommegang Chocolate Indulgence Stout to the world. Chocolate Indulgence comes with a thick tan head of foam resting on top of the rich onyx-colored liquid. The aroma immediately speaks of dark chocolate and dark malts. The gentle herbal nose of Perle hops compliments the darker notes, making the beer savory to the senses.
The taste continues with the intense Belgian dark chocolate gliding across the tongue; starting sweet up front but giving way to rich cocoa flavors at the back. Through it all, a subtle fruitiness from our special Belgian yeast gives the beer brightness otherwise foreign to a beer style normally associated with gray foggy skies.

Black with a lasting light brown head. Dark roasted flavour with ash and coffee notes, some dark chocolate and a hint of alcohol. Espresso and dark chocolate flavour dryish with a hint of dried fruits. I had feared disgusting sweet chocolate dessert and was pleasantly surprised.

75cl bottle @ HJHansen, Odense. Pours black with a creamy brown head and lacings. Nose is roasted malts, coffee & cocoa powder with quite a lot of ashy notes. Smooth and full bodied. Taste is chocolate and some dark fruits. Long end. Very nice!

A deep dark stout with a thick lacing dark moka head. A durty dusty chocolate aroma, with a bit of sweet milk and nutty notes. In mouth, a good pungeant stout with metallic notes, bready yeasty notes. Not bad, but not excellent. Bottle bought at CJs, Potsdam, late 2007. Tasted Nov. 2008

I loved this one and had no trouble sipping through the whole 750! Rich chocolatey nose with notes of coffee and roast. Very dark brown color, almost black and totally opaque in the glass with a thick creamy tight bubbled head. The label calls is luxurious and both the appearance and mouthfeel approach that adjective. Big rich chocolate, molasses, and roast flavor but not overly sweet at all with enough dry roasty character to balance it out with touches of roast and smoke in the finish. Perhaps the dead on best beer Ommegang makes.

Draft Chalice at Bavarian Haus, Lisle. Solid black appearance with parfait-like foam that had to be poured off to fill the glass. Lovely smell of a dark coca bar. You do have to like chocolate in beer to like this one. I do like it. Bitterness seems to come from the roast malt, cocoa and some hops all at once. Yet it has a lot of mellow qualities behind its very stout-ish base. Nice dry finish.

Pours with a black body with a large, rocky brown head with good lacing. Aroma of chocolate, belgian yeast, smoke, tobacco, coffee, metal and vanila. Taste is chocolate, lots of smoke, leather belgian yeast. A bit dry and lively carbonation for a stout. A roasty stout.

750ml bottle. Based on the name, I expected lots of chocolate from start to finish. Instead, the chocolate is muted and the aftertaste highlights the Belgian yeast. This tasted more like Allagash Black than a robust chocolate stout. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Average size, frothy brown head that sticks around. Dark brown to black body. The aroma contains notes of roasted malts, espresso, sweet chocolate and cherry. The flavor was moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. The finish was moderately dry and moderately bitter. Medium body with a smooth texture and lively carbonation. There was a slight chalkiness in the texture at the finish. The aftertaste had notes earthiness and mustiness. Enjoyable.

Bottle courtesy of RidleyBrewery. Pours black with brownish head. Aroma, notes of bitter chocolat and roastiness. Taste is roasted, charred smokeyness, light bitter chocoloat mixed with hops. I found it to be weak in chocolat. With a name like indulgence, one would think this would be loaded with the latter. Mouthfeel was a let down.
