Mar 3, 2009 Had this one bottled at WinTour 3, thanks Slothgar!! Hazy, dark reddish brown pour with a thin, lacy head, a creamy cherry nose, bourbony and oaky flavor with oats, peanuts, and blueberry. Chocolate throughout. Strong but soft finish. Excellent.

Mar 2, 2009 Awesome "metal" plated bottle. Smells like Willy Wonka’s Factory. Actually when I think about it, this is what the chocolate waterfall is made of. Not to over powering, but I don’t think its a beer you could drink all night. Will def get again if I can find that last golden ticket.

Mar 2, 2009 Poured dark into a pint glass from an awesome looking metal plated 22 ounce bottle. Thanks kegbear.
Very good smelling beer, very chocolately. The taste was real chocolatey but kind of watery I would have preferred some more body. I liked it and would buy aain

Feb 27, 2009 Bottle poured brown red with tan head. Aroma of milk, chocolate, and cocoa. Taste with similar but the body was weak and watery. Over all not terrible but not interesting.

Feb 27, 2009 Bottle, shared by wolf. Poured dark brown red with tan head. Aroma of chocolate, milk,and cocoa. Taste was similar. Liight chocolate, cocoa. The body texture was thin but not watery. I guess this is how the style is supposed to be. Overall considering the price tag.... probably not worth it. Thanks wolf sharing

Feb 27, 2009 This is amazing!! i’ve had a wide range of chocolate beers but none as delicate as this one. strong cocoa flavor while still being subtle. how the hell did they do that? one of my favorite beers...i try to get it every holiday season. update 12/26/08-had another one for the first time in a while. BEST FINISH EVER!! Smooth as silk, I can’t think of how to improve it. I’d give the aftertaste an 11/10 if I could. If I have another that good, i’ll give it a 5!...screw it. it couldn’t be better. my second "5"."

Feb 27, 2009 750ml bottle. Pours a fairly dark brown with a medium lasting head. Aroma is definitely malty and caramelly. Flavor is nicely malty, though not a whole lot of the chocolate that’s supposed to be there. Finish is pleasantly dry, with a little chocolate aftertaste. Good mouthfeel. A well-made beer by Sam Adams, though I’d prefer not to pay $17 for it.

Feb 22, 2009 Pours a translucent chestnut with a fluffy, ecru head and sticky, wispy lace. The nose is of sweet, bready (Munich?) malt, cocoa, light caramel and a faint nuttiness. Medium-bodied with a slick, almost flat, mouthfeel and a mildly astringent finish. Fairly complex for a beer weighing in at 5.5% ABV: a blend of Munich malt and cocoa, fruity and light while still substantial on the tongue. The only detractor is the finish which is a bit drying and astringent possessing a slightly medicinal aftertaste. Overall, this is a solid beer and one of the better of this style that I have sampled. While the bottle is fairly "cool" looking, the $15 price tag will likely deter me from picking up another bottle any time soon.
