Any beer you can't see thru is my kinda beer. :lol:
I like most Stouts & Porters. I'm really excited that our local brewery has introduced a Chocolate Stout. Unfortunately it is probably more in the style of a "California Stout" but since it is the only brewery in Alabama, I'm willing to give 'em a break.
I have favorite breweries...like Left Hand in Colorado or North Coast (Fort Bragg, CA) and both produce excellent Stouts and Imperial Stouts. Can't buy the heavy hitters here...we're limited to 6% max.
Young's Double Chocolate Stout is a great one as well.

....You're probably not going to like it. It's doubtful you have the patience or attention span necessary to appreciate a bicycle of this quality, let alone learn to ride it. We suggest you stick to bikes that get warm fuzzies on the interweb forums where all the cool people hang out. Besides, you probably really would rather pedal one of those bikes designed by hacking and welding together a couple road bikes salvaged from a dumpster. Perhaps you're the sportier type and like to have an eye-level view of hubcaps. Yes, that's much better! We wouldn't want you to think that 47 pounds of chain and some hacked up skate wheels hanging off your bicycle are anything other than a good thing. We're pretty sure you're not worthy of riding bikes that are really engineered, so we urge you to stick to your comfort level and riding ability. After all, we'll wait for you at the finish line!

…if you’re not pack leader, get back on your ‘comfort bike’ and slowly move away.
…should you encounter one on the street, be prepared to eat dust.
…close proximity may cause increased heart-rate, pupil dilation and overproduction of saliva.
…it shows no quarter, takes no prisoners. Owners should expect envy and jealousy; competitors will suffer severe ego reduction.
…egomaniacal laughter comes with the ride.

C'mon, guys! More arrogance!
Cruzbike Silvio: This is an aggressive bike. You probably will not like this bike. It’s not the cookie-cutter example of what you expect a recumbent to be. You’d much rather have a bicycle with a mushy, cushy, seat and a mesh back so your precious back won’t get all stinky. You’re looking for a bike you can jump on and join right into the line of other ho-hum recumbents wobbling aimlessly on the bike path. This isn’t that bike. This is a heavy-hitter and you’d have to spend time taming a steed of this calibre. You don’t want that. You probably think that recumbents are for fat old guys that only ride the bike path, so an aggressive bike like this would be way over your head. You need to stick to more vanilla bikes with several lengths of chain, numerous idlers and two different sized wheels. The truth of the matter is; you would probably be better off with three wheels than you would with a rocket ship like this.

Arrogance needn't be verbose. I can do verbose, no problem. Concise statement is much more difficult (though bumper stickers are ubiquitous, really good ones are rare).

OK, a kinder, gentler approach:
Cruzbike Sivio: This is an aggressive bike.
It’s not just your average; you’ve not seen the like.
It’s beauty is more than the curve and the line
There’s so much to this bike; it could blow your mind
Put power to pedal and soon you will see.
It’s nimble and quick; it’s as fast as can be
It carves through the corners and speeds up the hill.
It eats up the miles; you won’t get your fill.
Your friends will be jealous; though you’ll not hear a word
I doubt they can to stay close enough to be heard.
As the ravenous beauty speeds away and afar,
They’ll still be out pedaling as you wait at the car.
