Tried on-tap at Dejavu Bar in Melbourne during Good Beer Week in 2013.
Pours a deep, oily dark brown, almost opaque, but matching the chocolate theme nicely. Body is pretty light and fluid. Head forms a yellowed crema-brown in a solid, bubbly ring. Lace forms in specks. Looks decent enough.
Nose is awesome. Rich, gooey chocolate cake, rich cocoa with a buttery sweetness underlying everything. Milky hot chocolate. It's intense, sweet and rich. It could maybe have a bit more complexity, but in terms of delivering what they promise, they've nailed it.
Taste has a lighter entry, slightly toasty and dark, moving to more coffee characters on the middle. There's a light maltiness to it and some slightly savoury tones, before a dry, clinging character on the back suggests that chocolate cake flavour again. Really rich and long on the aftertaste: mud cake all over.
Feel is light, but fairly full, with a slight clingingness on the back.
Overall, this is a cracker of a beer: immensely flavoursome and intense. It's exciting, awesome stuff.
