Diamine Chocolate Brown ink tested in a wet medium nibbed Sailor Sapporo fountain pen on Paperblanks off-white ruled paper.

 

Very good flow in this wet writer. Ink is very saturated though some shading is evident.

 

Color of a very dark chocolate. Sort of reminds me of Noodler's Red-Black which I like but I find the Red-Black takes forever to dry on any paper.

 

This one is definitely a keeper, though I might like it even more in a thinner nibbed pen.

 

Buy Diamine Inks in the UK at The Writing Desk or directly from Diamine and in the US from The Pear Tree Pen Company Ink is sold in 80ml glass bottles, 30 ml plastic bottles, and selected colors are available in cartridge form.

Thank you for the excellent review. i use chocolate brown with in a Pelikan M 400 BB and it could even be darker in my eyes.

Nevertheless a great dark brown ink.

Thanks for another great ink review. I am definitely going to have to get some brown inks. This just might be the one to start with. Thanks again.

I also really like this ink, but due to the shadding, I like it in medium to bold nibs.

Good review. I usually have at least a half dozen different brown inks at any one time in the rotation. I've only used this ink for a few weeks but it has become a regular.

 

More "chocolatey" than P.R. Chocolat but much better behaved with a faster drying time, and safe in demonstrators.

I've just got one of the 30ml bottles of this and I'm glad that I did. I've currently got my Parker Moderne inked with it and it's very well behaved. As you say, some nice shading for a darker ink and good drying time too.
