4.47/5 rDev +4.4%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

Easily the most chocolatey beer on the nose i've ever smelled. Smells like melted chocolate chips...not even a bittersweet chocolate either. Just a rather sweet cocoa smell. Like Hershey's syrup.

Pours jet black in the glass with minimal head.

The taste is definitely full of sweet, dark chocolate. Very viscous and thick. There's no doubt in my mind that this is the most chocolatey beer I've had to date. This tastes as if I were to melt down some Dove dark chocolate squares and add alcohol to it. Sweet, thick, alcoholic. I will say that the heat isn't very heavy here considering it's 11 percent alcohol. Only on the finish do I get some semblence of roasted, somewhat bitter chocolate notes. Compared to the sweetness on the body though, it's minimal. This is a sweet beer.

This has to be my favorite chocolate stout thus far. I'm very impressed with it. Some may be turned off with the sugary nature of it, but it's attractive to me. However, I WILL say that I wouldn't drink more than 1 of these. Not only because I'd be drunk if I did, but the sweetness is a bit overwhelming after a while.

750ml bottle served in a tulip glass.

A: Pours a brown to black color forming a medium bubbled tan head with low retention and lots of spotty lacings left in the glass

S: Strong smell of dark chocolate. Impressive. Vanilla, roasted malts, cofffe, earthy yeasts and some wood notes

T: Slightly sweet upfront. Again, very strong notes of dark chocolate. Roasted malts, vanilla, coffee, wood, brown bread, wood, earthy yeasts. End in mainly made of a mild roasted bitterness. A bit milky too

M: Creamy and heavy body. Low carbonation. Dark chocolate aftertaste

O: Excellent drinkability. Very smooth beer. A masterpiece
