Big and rich, this London style porter is charged with chocolate to give a distinctive finish.

[1] Review by BigBry from Calgary, Canada who has tried this beer once. (9/8/2008 9:17:04 AM)
"650ml brown bottle, brought back from BC. Label as pictured above.
Pours a dark brown color, almost like a coke. Huge billowing head of tan fan that shrank away fairly quickly. Thin streams of bubbles, no lacing to speak of. It has the smell of some bitter chocolate. Slightly fruity and earthy. The taste was good, malty, earthy, the chocolate flavor was not very strong. The body was thinner and lighter then expected. I found myself wanting more - flavor, kick, creaminess - anticipating a really powerful 'double'.

[2] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (5/29/2006 2:01:28 PM)
"Bottle: Poured a black color ale with a medium head with good retention. Aroma of chocolate is subtler the name of the beer would suggest. Taste is drier then expected (I was expecting more sweet chocolate then anything else). Body is about average but lack the creamy texture that would have made this a great beer. Definitely not one of my favourite, I was expecting more from this brewery I guess."

[3] Review by willblake from Brick, NJ, USA who has tried this beer (1/18/2006 8:04:45 PM)
"09.30.05 Sample from bomber, thanks Josh. Mega chocolate is like a beery hot fudge sundae. Sweet and chocolatey on nose, all across palate, and lingering after the finish. Despite the sweetness, the grain offers a light, underlying bitter bite not unlike a semi-sweet candy bar."

"Looks slightly better than it smells or tastes, this poured into a dark, creamy glass full with a thick head. Aroma immediately revealed teh chocolate, but not so the taste."
