Thanks to gford217 for a bottle of this. The description on the label sounds delicious - let us see if this is one of those hmmm-yummm chocolate beers or one that tips right over into sickening Tootsie Roll land. Hoping for the former!

Pours black & pretty dead. Smell is good & strong, sweet malts doing the tango with the sweet chocolates. Mmmmm. Nice.

Dos Cocoas is chocolately as advertised. First impression is less about taste & more about the extreme coating of cocoa powder I feel on my tongue after the first taste. OK. There's a nice base porter here, & the chocolate, & an ever-so-slight bitterness that arrives as the train is leaving the station. As the cocoa would imply, this is a slippery, ice-smooth chip of a beer. The mouthfeel is just a wee bit thin to carry this much sweetness, though.

Good beer. The chocolate is balanced out & not overwhelming, but has that unique powdery quality that actually makes my tongue a bit rough. How'd they do that?

Looks and smells fantastic. Dark, with a thick, light tan head that dies back fairly quickly and leaves big chunks of lacing on the glass. Smell is loads of chocolate. The feel is lighter than I expected, with too much carbonation, though that fades over time as it sits in the glass. Overall, very good, especially once it warms up a little and the carbonation fades.
