Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Lovely aroma of chocolate, almost smells like kahlua mixed in with it. Appearence is as one would expect, jet black with a dark mocha brown head. Flavour is perhaps a bit thinner than expected, there is lovely chocolate flavours, again a touch of coffee/kahlua and a gentle but persistant bitterness.
Id rather this not come in cans, but what an unbelievable stout. A dark chocolate flavor which suggests actual chocolate use and not just flavoring. A heavy winter desert drink.
has the color of motor oil with an aroma of hops and chocolate. has a good head but minimal-no lacing. tastes of strong, bitter chocolate
