Paid $18.99 for the three-pack gift set...

Pours a black chocolate base, medium caramel head, excellent head retention, very nice lacing on the glass. The aroma is very similar to an American porter; robust/smokey malts, dark Belgian chocolate, espresso beans of fine quality.. it isn't overpowering but fine quality aroma nonetheless.

The taste starts off like a Ghirardelli Espresso Escape chocolate bar; sweet, bitter, and rich and of fine quality! Thereafter it's like a creamy chocolate milkshake the way down, smooth for the most part, moderate-to-heavy carbonation, almost bubbly, hurts it's score. Chewy and fairly smooth in the mouth and at it's a great beer to have the 25oz. bottle, but too much may be a bit excessive.

Final Thought: This was just short of 4.5's across the board and it had everything to do with carbonation... so close to a classic!

Split bottle with a buddy after hauling a freaking huge patio umbrella home.

A - Black pour with a brown fizzy foam. Lacing is in thin rings on the glass.

S - Scents of plums, chocolate and licorice.

T - Flavor ranges from sweet chocolate, to tangy berries and yeast, and some mocha notes.

M - Very drinkable. Some carbonation. For a Belgian dark it is very sessionable.

O - Impressed. I got this as part of a gift pack and I'd grab this again.
