Just keged it last night first sample was tasty, you can really taste the chocolate. It is a smooth drink, not something you are going to want to drink alot of. My SWMBO doesn't like stouts loves this one.
 
Update we tried a bottle of the Chocolate Stout last night. WOW did it tast great with some age on it. My wife said I have to brew another batch. Think this time I am going to hide about half of it!!!
