Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. Pours pitch black with a light brown head. Smells of chocolate, very sweet. Tastes of watery chocolate with just a hint of coffee. Beer is easy drinking with good carbonation. Overall, a good beer.

Best damn beer I have ever had in my life. I still have dreams about it to this day. 100% favorite beer that I can no longer have.

Late 2014 vintage; drank 1/18/15 @ the Yarchives.

Black/brown appearance.

Dark tan head; frothy lace.

Chocolate cake frosting & sweet cream nose...WAY too sweet already, yikes!

Medium thick mouthfeel.

Chocolate cake frosting flavor up front; vanilla finish.

Super cloying, unbalanced & tough to drink; I was unable to finish 12 oz.

12oz undated bottle poured into snifter at fridge temp 5% ABV. The beer pours dense black with light brown head. The head recedes to a film. The aroma is Hershey's cocoa powder. The taste is semisweet chocolate cake with only a hint of roast or stout. Mouthfeel is thin bodied and adequately carbonated. Overall, ok. I was given this beer by a friend who had it refrigerated for a couple years. I thought I'd give it a shot. Not as bad as I expected. Rated to average due to age.

Has a great taste, but too carbonated. It's so bubbly that it burns going down. One of my favorites as far as taste. Tastes like a malt shake.
