16.9oz bottle into a pint glass. A generous gift from my parents, thanks so much! I remember loving this back in the day but honestly haven't had one in years.

This beer's strong suit is visible - the appearance! It's got a nice opaque black body, off white 2 finger head and great lace. Looks like a chocolate milkshake with whipped cream on top.

The nose is rather weird. That's due to a touch of yeastiness or chalkiness and a touch of metal that throw me off but dissipate as it warms. Caramel sweetness and cocoa powder are the rules of the day.

I really like the taste, as it's simple and smooth. A few layers of chocolate and caramel, coupled with dark fruit and milk chocolate. Once again, the metallic bitter finish stops the beer from scoring higher.

The mouthfeel is medium-bodied plus but could be more viscious. Still, this is a great, creamy feel and a wonderful brew overall.
