First sip is a heavy carbonation with synthetic chocolate. Well, I say synthetic chocolate, but that's what the first part tastes like; it evens out into a more natural taste by the end, and the result is a very sweet, chocolaty beverage. It's a bit more acidic than most chocolate beverages I've had, but it doesn't seem all that bad. Subsequent sips make me feel like this is a clean beverage - less acidity than I had thought.
A deeper draught brings a tip-in of grains, chocolate, and oranges. The middle is very smooth, with cocoa and vanilla leading the way. It's very watery, but that's not that unusual. The finish is not substantially stronger. It has more spices added, and it takes like a good Christmas beer.
Bottom Line: A weak, but good beverage. Definitely a dessert beer like the Crème brûlée I had a while back.
2.5/5
