Fort Collins Brewery Chocolate Stout

What's up with all these chocolate brews lately? In Ill-Gotten Booty's opinion, chocolate is a very appropriate addition to stouts and porters. It poured a deep brown, almost black, with some reddish highlights. There's some roughness from the hops, but a thick smoothness that evens it all out. What else is in there? Another review mentions black olives, which to me seems absurd (a word never before used on IGB Beer Reviews), but I do detect some coffee, a little licorice, and some smokiness. This is a pretty decent  brew...7/10 on the IGB scale. Black olives...really?
