A: half finger head, milk chocolate head. Black and no light getting through.

S: tons of milk chocolate. Very sweet with cream and roasted notes.

T: tons of chocolate which starts sweet like milk chocolate and finishes bitter like dark chocolate. Roasted malt backbone.

M: creamy, medium body and low to moderate carboation.

Overall: very good. Its sweet but not in an offensive sense. I like the various chocolate flavors. Well made beer and better than I would have suspected.

This exceptional beer reminds me of a chocolate Bosco milk shake. A very thin head reveals the lack of carbonation in this beer. The first aroma that hits you is the chocolate Bosco syrup. The thickness in the mouth and the heavy chocolate flavor brings me back to the chocolate Bosco milk shakes I would have as a kid. It was on-tap at Eli Cannon's in Middletown, CT. According to my taste this is one of the best beers made.

A - Dark brown/black with a tiny head and some lacing. Bubbles evident.
S - It took me a while to place this, but I realized it's a hybrid of the fake-chocolate salt water taffy and a tootsie roll. It's an interesting nose and extremely sweet, but definitely smells "fake."
T - Taste mimics the nose very strongly. It's like blended tootsie rolls. Very sweet, not much to this that tells me that it is beer; tastes like a chocolate soda. No alcohol taste whatsoever.
MF - Creamy and smooth, balanced with the perfect amount of carbonation.
O - If drinkability was still a category this would get a five. I can't tell that this is 3% alcohol, let alone 11%. Alcohol is shockingly hidden. Very solid beer, although I wish the chocolate tasted more genuine. Would drink again, definitely.

On tap at the Southern Tier pub.

A: Poured a rich black with a tan head that receded fairly quickly. Not much lacing in the glass.

S: Smells strongly of chocolate. Lots and lots of it. Pretty much dominates the nose.

T: Chocolate, sweetness, and roastiness up front, followed by a fairly pronounced taste of alcohol. A decent balance of bitterness and sweetness came at the end.

M: Very smooth, with medium carbonation. Somewhat syrupy, and tingly from the alcohol.

D: For the ABV, this is fairly drinkable. The chocolate really comes forward as it warms up, but the alcoholic bite is consistently there. Maybe a little too sweet. The alcohol and sweetness got to me as I approached the bottom of my glass. Definitely a slow sipper.

Had this on-tap at Fathead's. 10 oz in a snifter.

3.5 A: Came without much of a head. Black color.

4.0 S: This is the beer that doesn't fuck around when it comes to chocolate. This is about as much chocolate as you can shove into a beer without it solidifying. Smells pretty much exactly like a chocolate milkshake served at the Hershey store in central PA. Booze doesn't have much of a chance at penetrating the massive aroma.

4.0 T: Again, nothing but a Hershey's chocolate milkshake. Sharp, rich, with lots of sweetness, but not cloying.

4.5 M: Heavy body. Good moderate carbonation. Sweet, but this never becomes a problem. Super smooth.

4.0 D: I could have had a couple more, but I wanted to drink something more "beer-like," haha.

11 oz. serving at Taco Mac Douglasville. When it arrived at the table, it had a pencil-thick head, which rapidly faded. Nice lacing on the glass. First off the smell is nothing but fine dark chocolate... I actually though it smelled better than it tasted. The taste is layer on layer of chocolate, with a roasted grain background, a tinge of hops and booze. The 11% abv. was hidden one moment and present the next, but still this was an amazing beer experience. The 11% affirmed the beer as a sipper, but oh my, what a fine time that was. This has rapidly overtaken the Creme Brulee as my favorites Southern Tier IS.

A: The beer is jet black in color and poured with a thin mocha head that left lacy patterns of bubbles on the surface.
S: There are moderate to strong aromas of semisweet chocolate in the aroma.
T: The taste is very similar to the smell and is dominated by flavors of semisweet chocolate. There are some notes of sweetness and hints of roasted malts.
M: It feels medium- to full-bodied, creamy and smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
D: Drinking this beer is like having liquid dessert. The strength of the alcohol is noticeable but it's well hidden from the taste.

Had this on tap at Mad Mex a while back. Review from notes.

Served in a snifter with one meaty finger of cream colored head. There were tenacious dark mocha hues of bubbles that ate away at the creamy foam after each sip - I love seeing some good cascading. There was a good solid wall of lace left behind. Overall a beautiful beer.

The smell was sweet, very very very very sweet. It was like inhaling straight Hershey syrup. Tones of dark fudge follow, but that was all. I give this a "4" because it is easily the most chocolaty smelling beer I have ever had, but I don't rate higher because the aroma is so damn one-dimensional.

The flavor starts with bitter cocoa nibs, then leads into milk chocolate. As it warms the beer grows ever more sweet.

The alcohol is not very well hidden, however it does lend itself to this supreme sipper. The beer has a smooth, dry finish. Definitely a desert beer.

I liked this for what it was, certainly something worth sharing once in a while. But I struggled with my snifter, and a bomber would be impossible to drink unless I wanted to die from a sugar coma. I'll choose Oat or Java over this or Mokah any day.

All you need is one glass of Southern Tier's Choklat Imperial Stout and you will never, ever, forget it.

I had this on tap at a dog bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn at the end of the summer. So it had been aged about 8 months at that point. The pour is pitch black, thick as tar, and only a little bubbly. It screams dessert beer. Since we have to select a rating on BeerAdvocate, I gave the smell a 4.5. Truthfully, it's not hard at all to describe. It's chocolate and booze. But by that I mean, tons and tons and tons and tons (read: tons) of chocolate. Mostly sweet chocolate, a touch of bitter chocolate, and maybe there's fudge there too. Who knows. It's chocolate and then booze. The taste?

The same. Hardly anything to say except that it's absolutely overwhelming. A blast of chocolate, sweet and bitter, that covers all the boozy heat. You get the booze a bit more as it warms and at the back of the tongue. Other than that, all chocolate. It is what it says it is. And it does it better than any other chocolate stout I've ever tried.

Like a shake, this baby is so much one thing it pretty much overdoes it. If paired with food, or an ice cream float, I could see this beer being the hit of a party. But by itself, and reviewing it as a standalone beer, I couldn't even finish the glass.

But it was on my list of ones to try, and I do NOT regret it. I'm even aging a bottle to try after a few years. Maybe some of the notes temper down with age. We'll see.

Until then, I have my memories.

Had on tap at the Spinnerstown Hotel.

A- Opaque black brew, apple cider brown sugar edges at the surface with light hitting. Small amount of wheat toast head form a top, dissapates down somewhat quickly.

S- Thick brown fudge, reminds me of fudge sold at the shore. Rich creamy chocolate, easily the most chocolate smelling beer I've had. Dairy creamer, malts and the faintest hint of coffee and booze round out the scent. Booze is almost undetectable. I could sniff this all day.

T- What else, chocolate. More dark chocolate, very toasty burnt malts. Some dark fruits including black cherry, and currant. Caramel is present also. Toasted bread. Excellent flavor truly.

M- Medium bodied velvety feel on the tongue. Very smooth and milky. Tiny bit of drying, perfect amount of sweetness. Heat from the abv is present after warming.

D- Very tasty excellent smelling brew here. Savor it. Good to have one, could become too sweet after that. A sipper, booze is not too present except for some heat.

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!

Dessert beer! Best chocolate stout I've had the pleasure of drinking. Also had from a 22oz bomber, but doesn't compare to the fresh chocolaty essence of a well tempered keg pour.

A- Thick black and 2 finger head that lasts for longer than i can wait. Lacy as can be the whole way through.

S- A fresh bar of Godiva semi-sweet fell into some Guiness wort.

T- As I've always expected a chocolate stout should taste. Sweet chocolate notes and alcohol, balanced by caramelized vanilla, and smoky wood bitterness.

M- Like Yoo-Hoo, but made with love and without all the water and bullshit. Excellent!

D- Surprising an 11% stout is this delicious. I continue to hammer these bombers, and look forward to having the keg on tap again at The Dive Bar, or Armsby Abbey (Whichever comes first)

A - Black and viscous with a dark tan head. Decent head retention, but I'm not worried about that characteristic with this beer.

S - All sweetness...smells like a Tootsie-Roll as my friend put it.

T - Tastes like it smells, pure Tootsie-Roll. Very very good syrupy consistency that makes it a good stout despite its sweetness.

M - Viscous, but exactly what you want for a pairing with dessert...something heavy.

D - Maybe 2 on tap, but defintely only one 22oz bottle is do-able at one time...besides your dessert will be gone by then anyway...

Served from tap into an imperial pint. Poured pitch black with a one and a half finger tan head that subsided to one finger slowly. Maintained excellent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, caramel, dark fruit, and slight alcohol. The flavor was of sweet malt, roasted malt, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, alcohol, and caramel. It had a heavy feel on the palate with medium carbonation. Overall this brew was quite excellent. Very well balanced with a nice bitter note from the dark chocolate upon swallowing. Had an excellent aroma going on here. If you haven't had this one before, you need to get off your ass and do so...

Had this on 2011-01-14 at Al's of Hampden in Enola, PA

A - Extremely dark brown with just a little light creeping through at the top edge of the glass. Short tan head with little lacing.

S - One dimensional smell of chocolate but my, oh my, what an abundance of it.

T - A great big wollop of both dark and very sweet milk chocolate. There a bit of hop presence but the aftertaste morphs from very sweet to an astingent coffee biterness with lingering sweetness. This helps disguise the still-apparent high ABV of this tasty brew. I like this but it's almost over the top for syrupy, chocolate flavor.

M - Mouthfeel is heavy with light-medium carbonation. Very thick and creamy.

D - A very fine beer that isn't sessionable for me. One glass is enough since it is so striking in its flavor. I tried mixing it 1/2 and 1/2 with a Hacker Pschorr Hefe and I liked the result a little better. It's as if cutting it allowed more of the nuances of the Choklat to shine through.

Served on-tap at Al's of Hampden into a Bell's tulip.

A - Pours midnight black with a thin white film of head, dissipating to a light ring around the outside of the glass, leaving little wisps of lacing down the glass.

S - As the name implies, huge amounts of bittersweet chocolate are ever present in this one. Even more lactic sweetness lurks in the shadows with the dark roasted malt. Very sweet smell, but in a good way. My only gripe is that it is a bit one dimensional.

T - Lots of rich chocolatey flavors up front giving way slowly to a mix of lactic sweetness and lots of dark roasted malt. Finish is quite sweet with plenty of lingering roast. A bit of heat comes thru in the finish as well. I like to drink this one with desert. It is very sweet but not to the point of being overpowering. Very nice sweet stout.

M - Heavy body and flavor with moderate carbonation. Finish is a bit hot with lots of lingering dark roast. Very sweet with a nice creamy feel.

D - Fairly high. Very sweet, but in a good way. The perfect desert beer. Over time the sweetness starts to get to you and brings this one down a few notches.

My 2nd time having this.

Pours black, 1-finger tan head retains decently becoming a thick ring towards the end, doesn't leave much lacing.

As many have noted, huge chocolate scent. Chocolate, cocoa, Hershey bar, Cocoa Pebbles. Usual Southern Tier big beer craziness.

Taste delivers what the nose promises - chocolate, and lots of it. Huge mix of milk+dark chocolate, cocoa, lots of roasted malt as well which I think helps balance out the sweetness a bit (it's still very sweet.) A decent hop presence.

Pretty silky mouthfeel, carbonation is a bit high. Alcohol very impressively hidden.

The fact that this crazy dessert-y concoction is 11% is frightening. I enjoyed this much more last year, a little too sweet and one-note for me nowadays. A good dessert beer though. If choklat is what you want, choklat is what you'll get.

Had this on tap at the Comet in Cincinnati.

Sampled in/from a Trois Pistoles glass. Pours a jet-black with very little tan head.

Man, the aroma off of this one is exactly what it claims to be: chocolate. Almost tootsie roll-like in the nose, or chocolate milk. Very rich aroma...sweet, creamy, and chocolaty.

The flavor is in that same vein. Right off the bat there are strong notes of milk chocolate and dark caramelized sugar. The tootsie roll flavor is very present. Notes of molasses and vanilla are in there, too, but mostly (as, I suppose it should be) chocolate is the dominating flavor here.

For the style, this is near perfect. The flavor is right on, very sweet, and full of chocolate. It's almost like drinking a very dense, rich chocolate milk and eating tootsie roll candy at the same time. So sweet, this would work well as a desert beer paired with vanilla ice cream and shared with a friend.

On tap at The Sierra Grille. I have had this about 7 times now, my opinion hasn't really changed so it's time to review it.

A- Pitch black with a dark mocha, creamy head that has pretty good retention. Several rings of thick lace as I sip it down.

S- Pretty much as close to Hershey's Chocolate Syrup as a beer could possibly ever get. It smells like so many good desserts and sweets I have had over the years. Roast malt accompanies the beastly chocolate scent.

T- After the aroma, the taste is a bit of a let down (compared to the latter). It has the chocolate but it is more bitter and not nearly as sweet and milky as the aroma suggests. After a few sips, a strange finish develops that has always puzzled me with this one. Maybe it is just overly roasty and it throws me off. It's not bad but hard to describe.

MF- Nice and creamy moderately thick body. The carbonation is fairly high but accompanies the creaminess quite well. Bitter cocoa and some warmth.

DB- The more I sip, the more the strange aftertaste/finish builds. It is very hard to describe, almost like a popsicle stick flavor when finishing a Haagen-daas. As with other ST Imperial Ales, great aroma but the taste doesn't quite follow up (but still rocks).

A: A nice deep black color with a thin dark tan/mocha head that dissipates quickly leaving not much of a trace.

S: The scent has major chocolate notes, very sweet cocoa smell with dark chocolate and everything else chocolate you can think of.

T: As one would expect, the major taste is chocolate. Very chocolaty flavor which masks the alcohol quite well, but it is still slightly present. There is a hint of hops in the finish, but the main predominant taste is chocolate explosion.

M: Medium to full bodied with average carbonation.

D: Even though this beer is 11%, you can barely notice it at all. The chocolate presence completely takes over. Because of the intense chocolate flavor, I wouldn't have more than 1 of these. But with a name like choklat, they really took it to another level and for a slow sipper, this is a good beer.

served on-tap @ Flying Saucer, Kansas City, MO, into a tulip

Pours an inky, super-dark black color. You can see your reflection quite clearly in the glass thanks to the opacity. Very satisfying. Nearly two fingers of mocha head sit on top, but dissipate fairly briskly. A wonderful looking beverage.

My words upon smelling this: "Oh, c'mon!" This is a cartoon of a beer. Utterly ridiculous. The smell is all semi-sweet chocolate chips and Hershey's chocolate syrup, and maybe a bit of chocolate flavor Dole pudding. It is very chocolaty. Bracingly, cloyingly sweet. Where's the malt? Where's the anything-that-isn't-chocolate? The beer garners props for masking its 11% ABV, I suppose. This is absolutely one-note, and while it may be an enjoyable note in a ridiculously-strong-scented-candle-from-a-novelty-items-catalog sort of way, it isn't the quality or quantity of note that makes for a good aroma score in a beer.

The taste is only minutely less absurd. Choklat tastes like chocolate ice cream and alcohol sweetness. The alcohol is well-masked in a lot of ways; there isn't any heat to speak of. But it does give some sweetness, which is appreciated as it makes for a flavor that is something besides cheap, novelty chocolate. There might even be a dusting of espresso on the finish, but I'm trying to be too generous to this beer. It sucks. This schlock is over-the-top in all the wrong ways.

Surprisingly, this beer is quite thin in the mouth. It nails all of its chocolate flavors the way it wants to, but it doesn't provide a satisfying heft to best express the chocolate bonanza. It's slick and unwieldy. I give the drinkability props for masking the booze; if you can stomach this sugar-bomb than you should have little difficulty with a bomber, let alone the glass poured on-tap.

This beer is a caricature. I can't decide whether I am more appalled at the beer itself or the numerous very high scores it has received on this site. This beer represents most all of the things that American brewing does wrong.

A chimay chalice on tap at one of my new favs the monkey.

A- comes to me with a small cap of mocha colored head that leaves a thin ring and a few wisps on top. Black as black can get in color. Just the faintest bit of red brown glow at the edges.

S- hersheys chocolate syrup poured over brownie batter. Just so much chocolate its nuts.

T- did I say chocolate yet. Cocoa on top of milk chocolate, fudge, chocolate syrup. Its all chocolate all day.

M- on the fuller side of body and on the lighter side of carb. It just sits perfectly on your palate and let's the brew do its thing. I'd almost like it to be a bit thicker like it used to be.

D- I am the biggest fan of this series and this one is the best of the black water. Its one dimensional and that dimension is chocolate. You can't say enough about this beer. There is nothing out there that is as chocolatey as this monster. If ya like em dark and full of chocolate then this is the one for you. That being said it tough to drink a lot of this stuff due to its sweetness and abv but damn if I won't try.
