A delicate blend of dark and bitter chocolates infused into a classic Porter. This beer has been in development for over 3 years until the brewers hit perfection.

Got in a trade with AZBeerDude72. 12 ounce can into tulip glass, best before 9/29/2019. Pours very dark ruby reddish brown color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy light khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice dense spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and brown bread/crust; with lighter notes of coffee, dark fruit, herbal, wood, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. A bit too fruity/yeasty, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malts, chocolate, and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of big milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and brown bread/crust; with lighter notes of coffee, dark fruit, herbal, wood, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Mild herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery, roasted bitterness; and yeast tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, brown bread/crust, coffee, dark fruit, herbal, wood, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, chocolate, and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; with a nice roast/hop bitter/sweet balance; and no cloying, acrid, astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/grainy, and fairly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is good. A bit too thin, but not watery. Zero warming alcohol for 5.5%. Overall this is a nice flavored English porter. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, chocolate, and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Well balanced English malts and chocolate flavors; solid earthy hops and fruity yeast presence. Light residual sweetness with lingering dryness. A nicely enjoyable offering, and well made style example. Just a bit too yeasty overall.

One of the richest "chocolate" stouts I've ever tried. The chocolate isn't subtle in the least bit.

12 oz. can - Sell by 03/14/2019 stamped on the bottom.

Pours black with a creamy tan head. Looks like espresso. Lacing sticks.

The smell is of chocolate/cocoa. Slight earthy touch. Slight roast. Robust.

On the palate, cocoa powder dominates. Cocoa powder lingers.

The chocolate in the taste and feel (it even has a powdery texture) is more like cocoa powder than chocolate. It's decent, but seems one-dimensional cocoa powder after a bit.

Can from the Whole Foods in Sedona.

A very dark brown with a thin beige head that falls off rapidly leaving little lacing, this looks decent. The nose is sweetened chocolate syrup with milk chocolate and sugar along with a mild roast note. The chocolate character is mildly fake. On the palate, this is sweet but thin with fake chocolate along with a mild roast, a little coffee. The mid-palate is fatty and rancid, and the mouthfeel is thin and limpid. Sweet on the finish, this beer is rather terrible.

Smooth, sweet, chocolaty--really good! Perfect dessert beer. I would love to set one of these in front of someone who says, "I don't like beer." There's nothing not to like here--as long as you like chocolate!

Pours dark brown with little to no head. Aromas of chocolat, malt, sugar, and a touch of coffee. Tastes of chocolate right from tge start. Can almost be described in the vain of choc chip cookies. Light hop bitterness with a medium semi sweet finish.
