Picked up a six at Liquor Mart (awesome store by the way). The beer pours a dark black hue that does well on the tip test. Meaning little to no color changed when you tip it or hold it to the light. The head retention is good and pours a tan color with some off white tints. The lacing is comparable but both decrease over time and don't last through the whole drink. The smell is as advertised with good chocolate bouquet. A slight milky quality is limited but could be associated with the chocolate.

The taste is a good strong malty stout. Strong roasted malt and chocolate tones are noticeable. The chocolate taste is very good and has a great coco taste to it. A stronger roasted taste comes out more then the smell would indicate. The hops are minor but do a great job extenuating the chocolate feel. The beer has a medium body but is very enjoyable to taste.

I used to drink HC Berger's beers in college and I'm glad he's back in business. This is a good beer from a good brewer.

Neat label but otherwise a pretty straightforward, unexceptional stout. It did not bring the chocolate notes forward that I expected given the name. In fact, it seemed to be just a plain, normal, slightly watery-in-the-finish American stout. No harm done, but not as exciting as a lot of stouts. Dark, dark color, decent head, nose not outstanding, just typical stout malt & hops. The same for the flavor, with some of the more complex and bitter notes in some stouts not present here. Drank 26 July 2016.

Rating lowered. Aroma is nice, but Taste falls flat.
Very blah for a chocolate stout.
