A: This pours like any nitro beer. Great cascade, great creamy head, awesome lacing. very dark, and almost black.

S: Smells like chocolate. Not quite bittersweet chocolate on the nose.

T: This all bittersweet chocolate. Dark chocolate lover will love this. I however thought this was watery and needed more of a milk chocolatey flavor.

M: Nice and creamy, but a bit watery. More medium bodied than full.

O: I didn't like it as much as I had hoped. Though I don't particularly like dark chocolate which is basically the only flavor.

Serving type: nitro-can

I had this at Lucky Baldwin's in Pasadena--a fun little bar with a bunch of beers on tap.

I really enjoyed this beer. It was thick, creamy and had a head that I was used to seeing on a nitro (was this a nitro? I don't know enough to tell the difference really, and I didn't ask.)

It had a soft, sweet smell but wasn't actually over-sweet when I tasted it. Nice and rich, a bit smokey, but not overpowering. Had a good, strong, steady flavor.

This was dark and tasty and I'll definitely be having it again.

Pours a dark mocha color out of the bottle, has a strong aroma combination of chocolate and coffee.

Taste was a little too bitter for my liking and extremely bold. Even though the alcohol content is mild, you could really taste it when drinking this.

Not sure if there was something wrong with the bottle since I had this one on tap before on London, but the bottle was definitely a disappointment.

A-- poured a dark brown...nearly black, a bit lighter near the edges, had a thick brown head with excellent lacing and retention

S--very chocolaty, some burnt coffee, and a hint of hoppiness

T--malty chocolaty with some coffee overtones...excellent taste

M--very thick on the tongue..not a lot of carbonation..but left my mouth coated with a slippery coffee taste

O--I loved this beer. I wasnt expecting what I got and I wish I had bought more. Not a beer for a long session, but would be great with a piece of cake or a brownie for dessert.
