Sitting there on the shelf, it looked like a shiny little bomb or torpedo. Some sort of missle. Anyway, I picked it up and realized that not only was it a missle but it was a missle with beer inside! After I drove it home, being sure to stay off the main roads- i entered in through the bedroom window and gently lowered the torpedo to the floor. I then dismantled it only by the light of the moon, and once successfuly taken apart I imbibed it. Poured a dark, sort of hazey caramel colour with a small moderately creamy beige head. Mouthfeel also is creamy, lightly carbonated and sort of stale. Like old cold hot-chocolate. Sweet, rich, but drinkable- nice buzz along with this brew, but I think I’ll pass on getting another.

These artillery shell bottles crack me up, either that or they were designed to look like awards they hoped these beers would receive, but never will. Dark murky brown coloring, with a dusty cocoa nose, melted maltballs and powdered milk chocolate. Not too great.

2006 bottle courtesy of Dave Martin. Pours a cloudy brown caramel with a medium sized beige head. Aroma of tootsie roll, cocoa powder and chocolate. Tastes like a lager coated with cocoa, tootsie rolls and chocolate. Not all that bad.

Bullet shaped bottle, with a twist of cap like something you’d see off of a soda bottle. An aroma of...of....well not chocolate that’s for damn sure. Light grains in the nose and something that reminded me of smelling an empty fruit bucket...plasticy and slighty musty. The color is a reddish/brown with a medium sized 2-finger thick head. Flavor does have some chocolate character to it but it seemed fake, like drinking a YooHoo. Some light caramel notes too. Not something I’d likely try again.

Bottle at Noogfest Four-O. Pours rusty with cream head. The aroma is chocolate and copper. The flavor is chocolate, dirt, and artificial sweetness. An unpleasant spiciness comes through once in a while. Pass.
