Excellent fall color

Such a beautiful dark brown

Love the colorway of the rich deep brown

Quick drying, pretty, rich color.

This is a very dark brown. It looks good with a variety of nib sizes and is great for daily use including a professional environment.

Many "brown" inks have noticeable shades of red, orange, or yellow in them. This ink is very much "brown. Just brown." Additionally, some inks may look dark in the bottle, but they lighten up when you try to write with them. This ink looks dark, writes dark, and dries down dark and rich... like chocolate! - In short, I like this one for its Exceptional Consistency.

I purchased this ink at the recommendation of GPC as a replacement for a color I like in another brand (not sold by GPC) which clogged my pen within a couple of days. The color was excellent and my pen writes beautifully with it for months between cleanings.

Diamond inks are beautiful and this brown is a great ink color. If you're looking for a change give this ink go.

Bought as a gift and was proud to give such a reliable pen. Customer service is great. Only change I would like is the option to have gift pens engraved. I realize a Twsbi couldn't be engraved but many of your pens could. Just a thought.

A very nice rich brown color, no feathering and flows nicely.

I needed a brown color to add to my ink collection. This is a nice shade - definitely brown but not too dark. It flows well but does take quite a while to dry. I did not have any trouble with smudging once dry (a few minutes). It does seem to have low water resistance so keep your sweaty hands off of it :)

This is a nice true dark brown ink that is a good alternative to Ancient Copper. It is well behaved and not prone to crusting, despite saturation. Flow is average. Highly recommended for brown ink lovers.

Nice consistency. Dries quick. Nice rich color.

Ink flows nicely; but, the color was a little lighter than I expected.

Went looking for a nice brown ink, and gave Diamine Chocolate Brown a try. So glad I did - it's a beautiful color. Highly recommended. My ratings on water resistance and shading are there because you're forced to choose something so I went for middle of the road.

So, my calculus teacher is a real stickler haha. She did not take well to me graphing with Apache Sunset. :/I was looking for an ink that wasn't over bearing, but really had more interest to it for me to stair off into during lectures. It has so much depth and attraction to me. I will say definitely the finer the better. I did get mild feathering, but in a pilot extra fine you should have no issues.

I was searching for a beautiful, yet practical, brown ink and this one fit the bill! Thanks Goulet Pens!

I bought this color because I like Diamine inks and it also goes very well with the Lamy LX Marron Limited Edition extra-fine point nib fountain pen that I purchased. The color is a very rich, dark brown and flows from the nib to the paper very smoothly and also dries very quickly. It is an extremely easy to read color and its color saturation is very obvious even when using an extra-fine point nib. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a deep, rich brown that does not have a yellow or grey cast to it.

I sampled several mid to dark brown inks to use in sketches. Diamine chocolate brown had the warm tones I was looking for and washes to a beautiful rich shade with a waterbrush. My second choice is monteverde joy sepua, but chocolate brown seems to be a little darker and more saturated.

I love this ink. It flows well and doesn't clog my most fickle pen

It really really does look like chocolate! And given that it's Diamine, it's a fantastic ink. I love it.

I am very impressed with the ink, it has become a favorite.

I have two 'go to' inks, this one and Graf von Faber Castell Moss Green, but I think this Diamine Chocolate Brown just edges it. It's loaded in a Pilot 823 Custom M and the line is simply gorgeous. Very dark and wet and could be mistaken for black in some lighting; we are talking 72% chocolate here, not milk chocolate! Feathering on Rhodia and Lalo Verge writing paper is non-existent and shading variation is not high either. Shade-wise it is very similar to the Diamine Macassar, but there the similarity ends. Macassar is a little dull aesthetically, whereas the Chocolate Brown, to my eyes, is magic. In the UK it is fantastic value too! �5.90 for 80ml compared with Graf von Faber Castell at �25 for 5ml less. Liverpool shouldn't just be famous for The Beatles.

The name of the ink is spot on, it's like dark chocolate, I simply love it. Nice and smooth flow, pretty wet. In a wet pen there's some really nice shading going on. Drying time is can be a bit long, but that's not really a problem (at least for me) considering the beautiful color.

I had been searching for a nice, rich brown ink for some time. I ordered this after looking at several others - it's amazing. It can seem almost black at times, but a beautiful saddle brown others depending on the pen/feed/etc. This ink is very free flowing and not the quickest to dry on good paper, however it does dry out after 2 or so minutes uncapped and takes a few scribbles to start again.

I use this for calligraphy, and it works very well.

I have had this ink about two weeks and I am using it in my Lamy Vista with a fine nib. It has a rich color with a little red in it. It flows very well in this pen and I will continue to use it for daily writing.

I have been using this ink for a few weeks now and I am impressed by its variation in its color. It's dark enough it passes for a blue/black but on closer inspection it is a really warm brown.

The Chocolate Brown is a deep brown. Diamine inks work very well in the JinHao pens that I use with the Goulet Nibs. As with most FPs, if you use a small sized NIB, the colors don't stand out that well, but with a wider, or stub 1.1mm and 1.5, the color really jumps out. At least that's what my eyes see. Nice dark brown.

Diamine Chocolate Brown is one of my favorites for how well the ink behaves. Seldom feathers or bleeds, and in a fine nib pen like a Pilot Prera (perfect for the Ivory Prera), it works excellently on thin, uncoated paper (I'm looking at you, Field Notes). Pretty much every other pen or ink bleeds through on those in my experience. Chocolate Brown in the Prera doesn't.

Nice and dark brown almost black ink. It does not seem to shade much, but it is good otherwise. Does not feather too much. Wish it shaded a bit more.
