Minhas Chocolate Bunny Stout
This beer pours a dark brown with a moderate tan head and smell of toasted coffee and light cocoa. It has a pronounced roasted coffee flavour with slightly sweet cocoa notes concluding with a subtle, well balanced, hop bitterness.

12 oz can poured into a pint glass. Can't figure out this stout. Will try another can and re-read at that point.
Thanks to Metalchopz for picking up a can for me. Can/label branded as Boatswain Chocolate Stout. Pours a massive frothy tan head and has a deep dark brown appearance. Leaves some big sticky lacing behind. Aromas are chocolate, vanilla, roasted malts. Flavours are sweet, lots of chocolate and vanilla notes. Some earthy and resin hops in the mix as well. Somewhat of a watered down mouthfeel, not as creamy as I'd like. Still fairly smooth and silky though.
Drank this beer branded as "Rhinelander Boatswain chocolate stout." A lightly carbonated, smooth stout with very forward chocolate notes
12oz can. Very dark brown with a coarse tan head. Dark carmrlozed malts and some woody dry husky flavors. Moderate chocolate flavors more of a dry cap cap power set flavor. Just OK
Pours black with a well-developed creamy tan head. Light hot-chocolate aroma. Lightly chocolatey, a bit porter-like roastiness. For the value (a $2.50 bomber) its a pretty good beer.
Notes: bottle from Trader Joes, as "Boatswain Chocolate Stout"
Can from Trader Joe's as 'Boatswain'. Dark brown in colour, with a thin, beige, head. An easy drinking sweet stout, with plenty of milk chocolate character and a gentle finish. Fine.
Pour from a 12oz can, single from Trader Joe's. Inky dark brew with tan head - held an LED flashlight up to the glass and it was invisible. That's inky! Aroma is weak toasted grain, not much else. Taste is modest sweet malt up front with some toasted grain, Some cocoa in the middle and a bit more roast with a little coffee at the end. Aroma and taste are both pretty restrained and simple, though what is there is enjoyable. OK but not a standout.
bottle from Trader Joes. Deep brown with small head. It was cheap, and I had low expectations given the other Boatswain beers I've had. Rather thin, light cocoa. A bit hot, despite the relatively low ABV. I wouldn't exactly recommend this, but it was better than some of their other beers.
can - super dark almost black color. Slight roasted chocolate aroma. Roasted chocolate, slightly sweet flavor.
12 oz bottle pours black light tan head light roast aroma taste is light sweet not much else boring
Bottle at the 10th Boise Imperial Stout Tasting. Labeled as Rhinelander Boatswain Stout. Dark brown pour with a small tan head. Smells of roast malts, coffee, and chocolate. Flavor of coffee and chocolate, a little on the light side.
22oz bottle pours out dark brown almost black topped with a tan head. Nose light roast chocolate sweetness and some coffee. Taste is more of the light roast malts chocolate sweetness.
the description actually nails this one "This beer pours a dark brown with a moderate tan head and smell of toasted coffee and light cocoa. It has a pronounced roasted coffee flavour with slightly sweet cocoa notes concluding with a subtle, well balanced, hop bitterness." smooth finish with only light bitterness...got from Juli at SWANA 2017 but drank later at home
Six pack of cans under the Boatswain Chocolate Stout label. Can to cup. Chocolate and smoke aroma, taste is more brown than stout. Hay, cocoa, a bit watery. Medium-thin, light finish. Great value beer.
4/25/2017 Boatswain Chocolate Stout (12 fl oz can): Aroma of wet tobacco, earthy dirt, and a hint of molasses; deep brown color with a foamy khaki-colored head; flavor is roasty, but more like burnt coffee left sitting in the pot on the hot pad for far too long, blackstrap, fruity notes, earthy hops and a roasty dark cocoa finish; medium body, smooth, perhaps slightly overcarbonated; just okay overall, good enough to use in the marinade I just made with it and just enough for a good sample to taste and that’s about it as I wouldn’t drink this regularly even at the price of only $0.84/can!
1 pint, 6 oz. bottle from the Minhas Brewery. Dark, rich stout with a taste of cocoa and coffee, not getting the licorice that some taste. Flavorful and sweet with limited bitterness. Enjoyable at first, a good sipping beer.
Bottle pour. Appearance is dark brown with tinge of red--almost opaque--with finger width creamy beige head with poor retention and trace lacing. Aroma is light roasted malts with mild chocolate. Taste is bittersweet roasted malts, chocolate and light coffee. Palate is medium bodied with thick, smooth texture, soft carbonation and chocolatey-roasted malt finish. Overall, the elements are all there but everything is a little on the light side.
Bottle; pours dark brown with a beige head; aroma of roasted malt, coffee, and some chocolate hints; taste is slightly sweet with malt and some hints of chocolate and coffee; finish is dry with some chocolate notes; a bit thin and watery for a stout
Not a bad beer, fairly light bodied. Some chocolate, some black liqurice. Ok
Rhinelander Boatswain Chocolate Stout, 22oz bottle from Trader Joe’s, in a Sam Smith pint glass. Faint aromas of chocolate malt, vanilla, caramel, wet earth and a trace of candied plums. Pours oily black with generous effervescence on the glass and a finger of foamy tan head that dissipates in a matter of minutes. Uncommonly starchy malt up front, not unlike spaghetti water, followed by light roast coffee and earth with sweet chocolate, caramel and vanilla notes emerging on the finish. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate. Good carbonation, decent balance with lightly mouth-coating sweetness. For the $2.00 pricetag you can certainly do a lot worse, but the biggest criticism I can make here is simply that there isn’t much intensity to this brew. The aromatics are nice, but weak, the flavor is nuanced and appealing, but starchy and weak, and other than the assertive carbohydrates there’s really nothing memorable or unique to distinguish it from any other major commercial or craft dark beer on the market. It’s just generic, starchy dark beer, which is probably exactly what a person should expect when they buy the store brand? Lesson learned.
Poured from the bottle. Color is dark brown, almost opaque black. Thin brown head. Aroma is milk chocolate and little coffee. Taste follows suit. Mouthfeel is a little thin.
Pours an opaque dark brown color with khaki colored head. Chocolate and a light roast on the nose; follows onto the palate. Medium bodied. Finishes with cocoa and roast. Not bad for a stout, but overall enjoyable to drink.
Picked up at Trader Joes for cheap, like a 2$ bomber. Good for the price. Black pour with small tan head that quickly dissipates. Notes of coffee, not a ton of chocolate,a hint of licorice. A little too watery for me but good for the price.
Pours coffee black with some tan head that fades quickly, no lacing. Nose is root beer and chocolate. Flavours are root beer, chocolate, coffee. Taste medium/big sweet light bitter. Lightish body with medium carbonation.
uh, am I crazy to give this a high rating??? Look is abstract brown, thin tan head. smell is rich milk chocolate, small coffee, and some malt. Taste is pure f’n milk chocolate. Exactly as sweet and bitter as.
Sampled at the SCCCT event at Friendship Brewery. Bottle was labeled as Boatswain Chocolate Stout. It poured a black color with a tan head. The aroma was of malts, chocolate, coffee, bread and some roast. The taste was similar to the aroma with more malts, chocolate, coffee, bread and roast. A little watery for me.
Bottle under the Boatswain Chocolate Stout moniker from Trader Joe’s in Newport News. Black pour with a short, fizzy tan head. Aroma is roasted malt, light cocoa and watery chocolate. Taste is roasted malt, toasted grains and light chocolate notes. Body is medium with a soft, prickly carbonation. Ends with more roasted malt and light chocolate.
Purchased under Boatswain Chocolate Stout at Trader Joe in Vegas. Pours a real dark brown colour with a frothy beige head, long lasting with creamy lacing. Chocolate malt aromas with the cacao added. Some stronger hops than usual for this style. Eventually, nutty notes comes out with mild coffee. Some sweetness flavours from the chocolate with roasted malts and light bitterness in the finish. This chocolate stout is a little too sweet, rich overall. Started with a lot of hops for the style, but now has disappeared in the taste.
Dark brown/black color; Medium slightly creamy body; Aroma of toasted sweet malt, cocoa/chocolate, & some coffee; Flavor of roasted sweet malt, coffee, chocolate, and some caramel; Finish is slightly bitter; Somewhat artificial sweetener taste to it - but not too bad.
Joy of Joys! The third in the dart tournament contest. A solid chocolate stout. Sweet and full bodied. Nose of cacao and bakers chocolate. Subtle hop finish for me. Evidently aliased to Trader Joe’s. Especially economical.
