It's very difficult to see through this beer when holding it up to a light but there appears to be a moderate level of carbonation based on the amount of bubbles rising to the surface.S: There's a gentle aroma of chocolate with some notes of roasted malts.T: The taste is both creamy and somewhat sweet and filled with flavors of milk chocolate. There are also some hints of roasted malts. The finish is slightly bitter.M: It feels light- to medium-bodied, smooth and a bit thin on the palate; the finish feels somewhat dry.D: It's very easy to drink and goes down very smoothly; this is definitely a sessionable beer.metter98, Apr 19, 20104.16/5 rDev +3.5%look: 5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5Appearance: Pours a black color with a creamy tan head; tiny bubbles galore, great retention and good lacingSmell: Smells like...chocolate milkTaste: Starts out with a sweet milk chocolate flavor; after the swallow some modest bitter elements kick in, providing a slightly balancing effectMouthfeel: Rich and creamy; very low carbonationDrinkability: Extremely drinkable, although the flavor is not as interesting as the bottled versionbrentk56, May 07, 20064.15/5 rDev +3.2%look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.25L: Loos very dark-brown almost black, with light brown head. S: Smells like chocolate, dark fruits, some acid notes, coffee, sherry and wood. T: Tastes like dark bitter chocolate, the bitterness of the chocolate is not very pleasant, not as smooth as the hops, so I found it hard to drink, aftertaste is aggressive. F: Has medium body and low carbonation. Not as creamy as other milk stouts. O: This is a good example of a double chocolate stout that you can find at the super market here in Mexico. You can find much better chocolate stouts in specialty stores.Mike_Aguirre, Mar 10, 20153.5/5 rDev -12.9%look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3Black pour with a generous tan head. The nose is nicely highlighted by cocoa and mild chocolate. The taste is of cocoa and light, un-sweetened chocolate. Semi-bitter finish. The mouthfeel was very light and lacked body & richness. As for being a "double chocolate stout" i would say that Rogue and Storm King live up to that name sake more so than this beer. The drinkability is poor b/c if i want a stout, i don't really want something this light and easy drinking.Popsinc, Feb 05, 20043.65/5 rDev -9.2%look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5Appearance  This one is very dark in color and creamy-looking. The head is rather modest but showed excellent retention.
