On tap at the Trappist. It pours black with a light brown head. The aroma has chocolate and coffee with a strong bready backbone. The flavor is coffee forward with nice notes of chocolate and bread. Very drinkable and well balanced flavor profile. The body is very silky, with the milk sugar coming through more in the mouthfeel than sweetness. Full bodied, but not heavy. Really nice.

Poured from a 22 oz bottle. Aroma is very chocolate forward with moderate coffee notes. Light vanilla notes. Fudge notes with some light oxidized coffee notes. Light alcohol spice. Pours black with a small, thin mocha head that recedes quickly to the edges where a small amount lingers. No lacing and moderately long legs. Flavor is rather sweet with quite a bit of chocolate and fudge. Some light vanilla with moderate coffee notes. Coffee is fairly fruity with a light acidity. Medium low bitterness. Light alcohol spice. Lots of chocolate and coffee. Mouthfeel is medium full bodied and a bit oily with medium carbonation. Low astringency and medium alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice beer. The coffee and vanilla notes are really nice, but the coffee is a bit too acidic and oxidized with a light meaty roast note to it. The coffee is definitely holding the beer back.
