I had a pint of this while visiting Kclingers. THe beer comes in a pint glas and there is a thin creamy tan head floating on the surface. The color of the beer is drak brown with no lite passing through when held up. The aroma is rich and chocolatey, no surprise there. The chocolate is actually fairly sweet like cocoa powder of a hershey bar. First sip reveals a fairly thick body and very mild carbonation. Nice and smooth beer. Then the flavor, things go down a little here IMO. The beer is very sweet chocolate flavored like eating a candy bar over and over. By about mid pint it gets to be very cloying and not very enjoyable. Maybe with some fruit or vanilla ice cream but with a dinner it is just too much sweet chocolate. Of course if you really dig that this is for you. I am turned off by the overdose of chocolate and wish it was some more roasted notes or coffee to balance the sweetness.

Here is a real delight of a desert stout. The chocolate amount added is way more than most Stout who claim to be a Chocolate Stout which is a delight to drink only being even more wonderful by being on Nitro. This beer blew me away with its simi sweet chocolate, vanilla and caramel taste which is something I never thought you could get from a beer from Rogue. They did a great job and here is a brew for those beer drinker who thinks beers are too bitter. They will love it.

Velvety, tan head. Thick and bold, black looking elixir. Soft, dark and caramelized, roasted grains, for the aroma. Slightly watered down, dark roasted grain and dark chocolate flavor that is OK.

This beer is really good. Beautiful opaque look with a smaller dark khaki head. First sip and you already taste the chocolate. This isn’t your normal dark chocolate stout, this is a milk chocolate flavor and it is good. Probably higher on the calories so probably only have one, but if you get the chance to try it, do it.

Not really into chocolate but friend dropped off some stouts and this was one of them. Would not buy it but for what it is, it’s well crafted. Dessert beer. Makes me miss lagers.

Pours a very dark color with nice head and lacing
Aroma has very generous dark chocolate hints
The taste follows the nose with a well balanced very enriched chocolate flavor
A medium bodied decently carbonated beer
A good Stout

On tap at Das Beer Garden. Black body with a nice creamy khaki head. Smells of cocoa and roasted malt. Tastes of cocoa and roar malt as well. Milk chocolate without the milk. Roasted malt and light bitterness in its stead. Medium body and very drinkable. Low carbonation. Hitting some of the old classics and this does not disappoint.
