12 oz. can purchased at Total Wine & Liquor in Colorado Springs, CO. Pours a slightly hazy gold color with a small white head and decent retention. Very little lacing. Normal lager aroma. Tastes like a mix of pale lager and Helles lager. Light sweetness. Low carbonation and a soft mouthfeel. Somewhat generic but still good and repeatable.

Can with a plastic top. Not real cloudy like a real NE. Terribly off smell, something like puke? Just asking. Has a big fat white head. Tastes like fresh rubber bitter innertube, bleah. So many stupid ass IPA and they all taste the same, WTF? Terribly on style, approaches double imperial IPA style in taste. Whew. One rude ass beer.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a relatively large, three centimetre tall lighter brown, soapy and frothy head that seems to last for quite a while. Aroma of dry roasted malt, hay, earth, nuts, pitted fruits, light peat and a dose of coffee towards the end - nice and robust and bitter from the onset. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong rich malty and nutty flavours show first with a lightly bitter punch, some subdued, but noticeable spices and ending with some chocolate sweetness and a tiny bit of coffee bitterness, but it ends in more of a robustly malty note. Aftertaste shows the sweeter malty and nutty sides of the flavour with a noticeable lactose and creamy injection towards the end with a dash of coffee and bitterness from the alcohol or astringency at the finish. Overall, a respectable Sweet Stout that is aged nicely by the brewery and perhaps even better by me. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from BeerTopia in Omaha, Nebraska on 05-February-2018 for US$1,67 sampled at home in Washington on 16-December-2019 as Beer #16 of my 2019 Advent Calendar.

Bottle from Total Wine. Dark brown in colour, with a thin, beige, head. Dominated by sweetish chocolate aroma and flavours with a touch of leafy hop, dense malts and trace of dark berry, before a lightly bitter finish. Fine.

Tap at the University of Beer in Davis, CA. Pours very dark brown with a tan head. Aroma of chocolate and mild mint. Near full bodied. Flavor is definitely mint and chocolate. Dark malt. Reminds of Andes candy, but less sugar. Decent.

Looks like pineapple fresh with a moderate white head. Aroma: pineapple, citrus fruit, catty hop. Medium body. Taste: hoppy, moderately juicy, pineapple, orange, medium ending bitterness. Good.

12 oz. can. Pours black, with a medium sized, foamy, tan head. The aroma is immediate dark chocolate bar, with some sherry, chalk, and berries. Sweet and malty, with a bit of acerbic bite. Medium body, with a malty, syrupy palate. This is a solid, simple chocolate beer!
