This triple chocolate stout is a unique interpretation of the style, combining three different chocolate malts, cacao nibs and 63 percent semi-sweet chocolate, creating a sinfully delicious brew. The addition of blackstrap molasses produces an earthy, caramelized tone in an already complex flavor profile. It's creamy, milkshake-like mouthfeel earns this beer the reputation of being dessert in glass.

12 oz bottle. Pours black and highly carbonated, with a medium tan head. Aroma is sweet molasses and bitter chocolate. Flavor is very chocolaty with a slight boozy bite, which is a surprise as this is not especially high ABV.

A - Pours a dark chocolate color.
S - Aroma is slightly sweet with a hint of coconut.
T - Flavor is coconut and chocolate with a sweet finish.
M - Nicely carbonated, but a little to thin for me.
O - Overall this is nice. I'll drink it again but doubt I'll buy it.

12oz bottle, no date. Pours hazy brownish black with a medium sized tan head. Smells of cocoa, vanilla, hops, and spice; low intensity. The taste follows exactly with lightly roasted malt, cocoa, hops, and spice; very straightforward and lacking richness. Thin body and average carbonation for the style. Overall, this has a fairly weak cocoa profile contrary to the name and lacks intensity in general. There are better stout offerings on the shelf.

The name sucked me in but wow what a disappointment it's more like an over carbonated budlight that someone added chocolate syrup to. Definitely not a stout in the traditional sense. So they added the chocolate syrup to a watered down lager and unfortunately the only thing it did was darken said watered down lager and left a slight cocoa flavor the packaging said molasses and lactose and creamy and etc etc you lied to me and it was expensive like $10 for a 4pk which is what'd id gladly pay for any decent craft beer but not dark watery thin Swiss miss lager. Rant over

Looks thin, smells like nothing, tastes okay but redeems itself here by having a slightly peppery taste that I'm not sure wasn't brewed with, and feel was creamy while thin


Overall, pay me to try this again because i won't on my own accord.

Pours a dark chocolate color. Aroma is slightly sweet with a hint of coconut. Flavor is coconut and chocolate with a sweet finish. Flavor is not too strong but you can tell it's there. Has a solid body to the beer and overall this is nice, not great but still nice.
