Had on tap at TJ Finleys in Bay Shore, NY. Served in a Delerium Tremens tulip glass. I've reviewed this from a bottle so this is a review of the beer on tap.
Look: hard to tell exactly because of the dimly lit bar, but its dark brown but not quite black. I can't get any highlights by holding it to a light either. There's no head except a thin layer of bubbles hugging the side of the glass. No lacing.
Smell: big chocolate aroma, like brownies in the oven. There's some roasted malt and a hint of vanilla. Smells like the bottle version.
Taste: huge chocolate taste, as if someone melted a chocolate bar into a tulip glass. Hints of roasted malt and coffee. The alcohol is nicely hidden.
Feel: this is where the beer steps down from the bottle version. The bottle is a bit more silky and a bit more full. The tap version is a little thinner. Not bad but I would prefer my 11% ABV stouts to be a bit thicker.
Drink: quite high. This is a very drinkable imperial stout and its one I recommend people try in order to get them into the style.
Overall, a very good beer. This and Mokah are Southern Tier's best beers. I would certainly recommend trying this as soon as you can... except you might enjoy it in the bottle a little bit more. I know I did. Cheers!

650 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 11.0%. Pitch black colour, moderate creamy tan head. Intense aroma of cocoa / chocolate. The flavour has also loads of chocolate and cocoa, but the sweetness is not too extreme. Also some roasted coffee notes. A moderate hoppy bitterness in the finish (Chinook and Willamette) balances some of the chocolate sweetness. Very drinkable for an 11% beer. I had no problem finishing the bottle - but if you hate chocolate, this is clearly not a beer for you.

I've had many opportunities to drink Choklat Oranj and really liked it. Had this one for a few years and thought a snowy Christmas would be a good time to drink it. Really hits the spot. I guess it could be a dessert beer but when its freezing outside and the snow is blowing it'll do. Looks like motor oil with very little head. Just like an imperial stout should. With my diminished sense of smell I get chocolate (imagine that) and malt. Can't decide if its milk chocolate, bittersweet or what but definitely chocolate. Taste is the star here. Chocolate of course but I don't think its too sweet. Nice clean finish I could drink it for dessert but it's fine in front of the fire in the dead of winter. Mouthfeel is almost perfect. Slightly thick, smooth as silk and just about right. Overall, a really good imperial stout. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be available any longer but should it pop up again i'm definitely getting another bottle or two
