$2/fifth from Trader Joe's

5.4% alcohol, 14.26 original gravity; 66 IBU per bottle stats
=== sampling date ===
poured 2011-12-05
=== Style ===
American Stout
=== Appearance ===
Deep black (motor oil?) with a hint of tan transparency at the top few mm of the pour (looking through the concave meniscus)
=== Aroma ===
Hard to tell tonight - my allergies are impeding my sense of smell! There's certainly no big "whop you in da face" from the cocoa
=== Taste ===
Slightly sweet, but not as prominent as might be expected by the label's announcement that the drink includes cocoa powder.

Not too thick; certainly not creamy; easy to drink! 

Seems like a good deal for a winter stout; probably ought to lay in a few before TJ's runs out!
