I tried this beer pretty much on the strength of your SWMBO liking it (I'm trying to find some training-wheels beer to turn her into a devotee but not having much luck so far (as yet all she's liked is a fresh SNPA (sorta) and my first AG (well, she says it is better than almost every beer I've bought so that counts. IT DOES SO!!!)). To be honest I only get chocolate in the aroma if I take a huge sniff - normal inhalation only gives me something similar to coffee. Flavour wise I get weak stout flavours and something coffee-like if I look really hard for it.
Didn't work on SWMBO either. All I've got left to try is Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar.
Now this beer i enjoyed!
Its big and malty, lots of nutty caramel malt and a drying menerally character to the beer that i am really enjoying. It balances the sweetness very well.
Awsome beer!
cheers
f*ck off Dave!
4" of fresh snow in the past 2 hours, and the fridge is everywhere you can reach outside!...I love this place.

I love Melbourne too! It's 9 AM and the current temp is 29 degrees! Remember, in hot weather the clothes come off and the talent in the city already is phenominal. Its like going fishing with dynamite, you just can't loose! :beerbang:

Oh yeah....
I have good memories of kwak.
I had this bad boy last night while knuckling down to study. Smells better than it tastes but has a great mouth feel. It is dry but there is some malt sweetness after the initial dryness. Not overly hoppy.
I think that is one of the few english ales that travels ok.
Also could be due to the hint of dark malts added (black malt at a guess) but its one i grab on a regular basis.
Tis also one i brew!
Could be onto something there Smurto. Similar things seem to happen with Hobgoblin. Must be all those anti-oxidants in the roast. :icon_drool2:
