What do I think of it? Not being truly a fan of specialty-flavored beers, I approached this one with caution. After all, for most people, the idea of a “chocolate beer” seems like destroying the ideals behind a more traditional brew.

With that said, I think they hit the jackpot on this one. Seriously, if you are looking for a special beer to try with friends and family during the winter months, this one is a perfect selection. Let me tell you why:

Taste? Like a full-bodied chocolate that melts in your mouth and not your hands. A warm sensation that makes you feel better and happy.  Smell? Right on the spot. Think of all the sweet things in life and make a beer out of them. Colour? Dark as a stormy winter night. Porter beers in general, have a dark brown to black color and it shows straight away.

One small thing though: Carbonation is high but the foam goes away quickly. Serve, and enjoy. A bit of a shame though, since a “crown” on top would make it more easy and approachable on the eyes. Is only up to you.

Would I recommend it? Certainly. Not as a “let's-drink-a-bunch-and-get-drunk” kinda beer. It's more of a “let's-sit-down-and-talk” beer that can be the perfect accompanying element to special items of food like cakes or white meats with sauce, as a way of increasing a pleasant sensation when you are having a really good time. As for me, not quite the kind of beer I'm used to but non-the-less, a welcomed addition to the family of products that this brewery has. Again, it's all about an acquired taste.
