Pours deep brown into a shaker. Mocha head with good retention leaves no lacing as it recedes. Chocolate and roasted coffee aromas. Thin and chocolaty with a lasting, smoky, slightly metallic hop finish.

(Draught at Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Black colour with brief, brown head. Roasted, malty nose with notes of coffee, dark bitter chocolate and tobacco. Roasted, malty taste with dark bitter chocolate, cocoa, tobacco, black coffee and hints of citrus in the finish. Not really well balanced, byt very tasty.

12oz Bottle Pours almost black topped with a small tan head. A Nice aroma of sweet chocolate and roast. tast of sweetness and bitterness at the end.

tap at the brewpub - Pours dark brown with a thin tan head. It has the expected roast malt aroma with a hint of chocolate. There’s a good stout flavor though the chocolate that the name indicates is very mild. It’s medium bodied, well balanced, and finishes somewhat dry.

Deep dark brown coloured body ~85% opaque with a nice dense tan head. Aroma of very smoked malt, completely surprising since no one mentions it! Peat, malt, nuts and a bit of chocolate are noticeable - but more smoked essences noticeable than anything else. Medium-bodied; Lactic taste up front with some good milk coming through in the taste with a bit of pale sugars and some pleasant malt. Chocolate shows in the aftertaste with some nuts and peat also coming through - very mild though. Overall, an interesting beer - the aroma is completely smoked, but the taste is very mild and doesn’t show much at all. Overall, a decent beer - but nothing great. Not worth trying again, but perhaps if you can’t find this regularly - it’s worth a try. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Oliver’s Beverage in Albany, New York on 10-January-2008.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with a small dark brown head that faded quickly. The aroma was somewhat faint but sweet and roasty with a hint of chocolate. The flavor was bitter, roasty and dry. The mouthfeel was rather thin.

Bottled at Mesa Verde in the A terminal at Denver International airport. A black beer with a thick brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of chocolate, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet malty dominated by notes of chocolate, leading to a dry and slightly bitter finish.

On draught at Vintage Estates in Boardman. The beer is a dark brown color with a medium thick and rocky beige head that has decent retention. Rings of lacing on the glass. The aroma is roasted malt with touches of chocolate and sweet fruit. Medium, glassy smooth body that feels thin at times with roasted malt and chocolate flavors over top light coffee and hops. The finish is creamy and roasty and leaves a sweet chocolate aftertaste. Although there isn’t really anything wrong with this beer, there are far better Chocolate Stouts out there.

Pour is a black with a small tan head. Aroma is very hard to detect. Some roasted malts finally come off but nothing like it should be. flavor is an improvment but still nothing great. Some cocoa and roasted malts. Finish is pretty watery for a stout. MEH.
