A. Good thick black pour with a nice brownish tan head, leaving spotty lace.
S. Smells like chocolate cake, some cinnamon and clove.
T. Taste like chocolate cake and all of the above, nose hits me harder than mouth.
M. Velvety delicious, rolls around the tongue like chocolate cherubs.
O. Overall loved this beer very much, had at home mostly in recliner in a large OSDH snifter, from bottle.

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.

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.
