Sampled on draft at Champs in Altoona this beer poured a dark brown color with orange highlights and a large creamy-fluffy off white head that lingered and left exceptional lacing. The aroma was sweet and tart grapefruit, lemon, bread, malt and honey. The flavor was sour caramel, wood, tobacco, bitter pine, grapefruit and perfume. Long finish. Moderately full bodied. Decent.

On tap at the bocktown. Big and dark. No head. Aroma is that of a chocolate bar, no lie! Taste is the same, the initial flavor is so chocolatey. Surprizingly not as bitter as many choco beers I’ve had int he past, this is more like milk chocolate. Decent co2 too. Yes, choco is good at first but ast he session continues there is a growing sense of annoyance on my nerves. Probably couldn’t have more than a couple of these. But overall, yes, one of the better choco beers I’ve tasted over the years, quite acceptable.

Nice! Very bitter and toasty. Pours black with great head and lacing. Mocha head. Quite a bitter finish and lactose adds texture but not a huge element to aroma. Bottle.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a decent hazy looking orange to brown color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than forty five seconds. The lacing that was left was pretty minimal with what was there just kind of went all over the place.
The smell had some floral to somewhat piney notes.
The taste was mainly sweet with a light bitter floral hoppiness trying to make its way into the flavoring.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was somewhat sharp, still good for the style.
Overall, I say this was mainly a pretty good beer worthy of having again.

22 ounce bottle. Bright amber orange color. Medium-sized rocky beige head.Subtle fruity malt nose. Nice toasted malt flavor has a spicy bitter hop backdrop. Notes of toasted hazelnuts and burnt caramel. Spicy hops are somewhat subdued for a DIPA. Pleasant drinking, but just average for the style.

12 ounce bottle. Hazy amber orange color. Medium-sized rocky beige head leaves a big clinging lace. Toasted grain aroma redolent of baked bread. Bitter toasted malt flavor has hints of rye, coconut and grapefruit peel. Bitter, dry finish.
