2.8 Bottle at home. A strong aroma of coffee on opening the bottle and a nice head I the tankard. Very strong flavour of coffee and an intense sweet flavour of chocolate. I was surprised that this was a dark bitter and not a porter or stout, but there was no real flavour of beer and the whole thing wasn’t really integrated for my tastes. A worthy experiment, but not one I particularly enjoyed due to the sweetness.

3.3 500ml Bottle at home, Poured clear dark brown with off white cream head. Nose is caramel and Cocoa. Taste is coffee latte caramel toffee malts and brown sugar, Decent enough.

3.2 Good looking beer with dark brown, can-see-through body and creamy beige head. Aroma is sweet nuts, pralines, chocolate, caramelised pecan, sweet cappuccino. Mouth feel is more watery then expected. Still OK. Flavour is also more dry then aroma. Medium sweet with good balance of roasted and caramelised. Earthy finish. Not bad.

2.9 500ml bottle. Very dark amber pour with a thin caramel head. Sweet and creamy aroma with a hint of dark malts. Pale flavour of stout malts with cream and chocolate. Nothing special, but refreshing.

5.0 Served in a Teku glass from a 500ml bottle. Pours dark garnet-brown with a thick tan head. Aroma is coffee, chocolate, malts, molasses. taste is bitter-sweet with clear coffee and chocolate notes. Full smooth body with medium carbonation. Simple great!!!

3.1 Bottle at home.to much on sweet side for me nice taste overall though don’t taste like it’s 6 %

3.8 Bottle at home. Pours a dark reddish brown colour. Caramel, chocolate and black malts. Medium body. Quite decent.

3.4 Bottle from Sainsbury’s. Dark brown body with a thin cream head. Faint lacing. Aroma of hot chocolate, rust and Nutella. Flavour of cocoa powder and weak coffee. Thin to medium body with a watery texture. Light fizz. Very chocolatey but I didn’t get much coffee flavour.

4.0 500ml bottle from Sainsbury’s. Pours a clear very dark brown colour, tan head which quickly disappears. Aroma: chocolate, coffee, malt. Taste: sweet chocolate, coffee, light roasted malt, hint of fruit at the end. Only a mild bitterness in the finish. Smooth oily texture, soft carbonation. I’m a sucker for chocolate coffee beers and I really do like this one. The flavours seem real too and not artificial. The chocolate stands out more than the coffee and it’s a rather sweet dessert beer, personally I would prefer a little more bitterness in this, a darker chocolate perhaps. I’d probably class this as a Sweet Stout rather than an English Strong.

3.8 500ml bottle BB 12/7/2016 Well, this one certainly delivers what it says on the bottle. Sweet biscuit/Hot chocolate aroma. Pours deep dark brown with tan head. A very mild bitterness is followed by the chocolate (and lots of it) and a residual roasted coffee note. Excellent desert beer to have with Chocolate steam pudding or Chocolate Mousse. Nice.

3.5 Bottle from supermarket,ruby red with beige head a lovely coffee, chocolate taste which follows through to the aftertaste, worth trying again.

3.4 Bottle - a gift from Uncle Phil - cheers! Definitely a sweet beer, enormously chocolatey in fact. Grainy texture and tooth eroded satisfaction. Fairly pleasant and saved, I reckon, by its good alcohol levels, which provide warmth.

3.2 One for the sweet tooths. The aroma tells you exactly what you’ll get: chocolate, and lots of it. A touch of vanilla and, as for the coffee, I only noticed a slight under-extracted astringency peeking around the edges of the totally dominant bully-boy belgian chocolate. Well made, but I prefer a bit more bitterness with my chocolate.

3.4 50cl bottle. Appearance - deep black with a lovely fawn head. Nose - light coffee, milk chocolate and honeycomb. Some molasses or liquorice at the back. Taste - more molasses, more honeycomb and creamy chocolate. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - quite enjoyable.

3.0 Butelka .kolor ciemby wrecz czarny piana mala palona. W zapachu dominuje kawa i kakao. Mimo 6 % nie czuc nic . Kawa lekko wodnista aparycja. Piwo ciekawe ale nie dobre smak kawy zabil walory piwa.

3.3 PINT tasting. Coffee, mocha aroma, light chocolate notes. Dark ruby red, small foam ring remaining. Nice coffee taste, not too strong. Little aftertaste. (Arnhem 201512)

2.9 Bottle courtesy of Mike. Cheers! Pours pours ruby with a frothy cream head. The aroma is strong sweet coffee and chocolate with a slightly synthetic feel. The taste is similar. Overwhelming mocha flavourings over a slightly spicy beer. Very much tastes like a lot of coffee and beers flavourings have been added to a very everage beer after the brew. The flavours are strong and very sweet, but well crafted this is not. Pretty bad really but at least it has some sort of character.

3.4 A well balanced beer with coffee and chocolate evident (of course) but not too overpowering like some I’ve tasted. A good malt base, quite sweet & fruity. Better than expected.

3.2 Pours a fark colour. Yaste is of dark chocolate and some coffee. Quite a nice beer .

3.6 500ml bottle. Pours dark red, almost black with a thin tan head. Sweet chocolate aroma, chocolate and coffee dominate the flavour. Thin mouthfeel but otherwise great

3.9 Glorious coffee and chocolate aroma, nearly the creaminess of a stout. For coffee lovers.

2.8 Pours with a thin head. Chocolate bouquet and flavour but a bit simple with a synthetic tasting aftertaste

2.8 Appearance: Dark brown, clear. Some dark tan head, but not much of it. Aroma: Coffee, chocolate. Probably some dark malt. Taste: Strong coffee and some chocolate. Sweet. Slightly roasted. Nothing special. Bought: Sainsbury’s, 500 ml, £?.?? Info: 25/5-2015, BB: 31/3-2016

3.0 Tap. Pours a slightly transparent brown with a layer of tan head. Aroma and taste of dark chocolate and malts.

4.4 Bottle from Sainsburys, Christchurch, Dorset. Huge chocolate and coffee aroma. Brief fizzy tan to nonexistent head over deeply dark reddish tinged beer. Lively and full mouthfeel. Sweet and lightly bitter with a dry sweet finish. Coffee and chocolate through and through. Malty bass notes.

2.9 Bottle. Sweet coffee and chocolatey mocha. Bit too sweet, but may work better as a dessert beer option. One to split I think. Touch of stickiness, but certainly hits the sweet tooth nicely.

3.3 Dark very, no head. Strong mocha, chocolate and nut aroma, strong mocha and chocolate flavor, without any annoying bitterness. Like drinking a very nice dessert.

3.3 Pours chocolate brown, but clear. Thin oily tan head. Huge cocoa aroma. Reminds me a great deal of a cafe mocha. Medium-light body and fairly lively. Quite a bit of carbonic acid on the finish. This is a sledgehammer, flavor-wise. There’s a lot of flavor, but not much subtlety.

3.3 Bottle a black colored beer with a white head aroma chocolate mocha malts caramel dry fruits and spicy flavor roasted malts spicy chocolate mocha dark fruits frutis and spicy

3.9 Bottle from Bierzwerg! Pours deep brown with creamy head. Smell has lots of sweet chocolate, coffee and some caramel. Starts with delicious sweet chocolate notes and some coffee. Finish is sweet chocolatey, with lots of coffee, some caramel candy and some slight spicy notes. Awesome aromas!
