Enjoyed from an antique traditional German Pilsner glass.

A: Pours out coffee black and relatively thick with full finger of brown head resting at the top. Some lacing remains after head comes down to a sliver but not a whole lot.

S: VERY strong smell of sweet sweet chocolate that overpowers anything else that could be present. A light tinge of spicyness that I can't quite ID. Not sure what causes this aroma but love it.

T: Again, sweet chocolate prevails. Slight coffee notes comes through as it sits and coats your mouth. Burned dark chocolate creeps up in the back palate that persists from drink to drink.

M: Light to moderate body. Low carbonation that really lets the chocolate soak in. Very slight alcohol burn that is barely noticeable. Leaves you with a dry mouth feel that demands that another sip is taken.

O: Tasty desert stout that is easy to enjoy. Has decent body ,as a stout should, without being overly filling. Love the chocolate taste though it makes it easy to forget that this beer is up to 10% ABV. Super rich and sweet but dries you out at the end.
