My PBGC American Lager glass looks great with this very dark brown, essentially black, Stout. One-half inch of khaki head is creamy and holds at one-quarter inch for the duration, while a webbing of lace is left behind.
Unsurprisingly, caramel and milk chocolate form a strong backbone to this aroma. Coffee and charcoal are light against a very sweet background of brown sugar.
While initially sweet, the follow-through has a deep char which is almost burnt. Crème Brulé, salted caramel, and milk chocolate are all present with the chocolate being more pronounced. The salt is nice and mild. Light bitterness builds and fades just before a quick, mild finish.
The body is full and almost dense, with a smooth, whipped cream texture. Carbonation is light and prickly, while the alcohol is as expected.
This is certainly a dessert beer and very comforting. Thank you to Meghann and Kyle.

Pours a very dark brown with a massive light brown head that left islands of lacing. Smells of chocolate, roasted malts, a hint of char and caramel. Taste follows the nose with additional flavors of bitter dark chocolate salt, vanilla and Graham crackers. Full bodied, light carbonation, salty and dry finish.

Undated bottle into pint glass. Pours a very dark brown - inky black when in the glass. Nice, long-lasting light tan head. Initial impression is a salty milk chocolate milkshake. Hints of caramel, but the salt and chocolate dominate. Thick, creamy mouthfeel, fluffed up by a nice amount of carbonation. Finish is salty and slightly bitter - like dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
This provides everything that's bad for you in one tidy package: salt, chocolate, and booze. What a great idea!

Decadence in the Terrapin brewery reaches new heights with the trendy inclusion of caramel and salt to their already childhood milk chocolate inspired beer. The sweet tooth never saw it coming.
Very heavy brown and understandably mistaken for black, the frothy, milky textures layer in the glass like milkshake. As a bloomy blanket of foam nestles the beer, its sultry aromas entice the nose with the richness of chocolate, caramel, kahlua and graham cracker. In similar form, the toffee, caramel and chocolate maltiness has the senses thinking Derby pie with the very first sip.
Little changes as the stout slathers the middle palate. A continued richness of caramel woven chocolates barley allow the flavors of roasted pecan, dark roast coffee or any hop bitterness to interfere with it unapologetically dessert-like effects. The simmering warmth of alcohol give the chocolate a grown up appreciation while the stout finally trails into a woodsy, spicy chocolate character with a slight pep of bitterness.
Full bodied and with the consistency of marshmallow fluff, the beer chases the overall flavor of turtle desserts right down to its lavish textures. But in all things craft beer, the alcohol makes it a winner.

Poured a black(ish) body with one-finger tan head that died quickly but left some lace. The aroma is mostly bitter chocolate with minimal caramel. The beer is salty and dry as the saltiness overtakes the caramel and the chocolate is basically dry and bitter. Thick and slow-sipping, the beer is more dry/bitter sweet than cloying sweet and is worth trying but not my favorite.

A - Dark, dark brown pour with creamy toffee colored thick lacing.
