Dec 3, 2008 What a major disappointment. The best thing about this beer was, without doubt, its glass. Subtle malty, semi sweet nose that doesnt possess the pronounced chocolate punch I was expecting. Flavor has hints of carmel, honey, and a touch of Godiva. Very thin...missing the extreme in this extreme beer!!! I understand it was aged on rare cocoa nibs but I wouldnt have known that if I hadnt read it on their website.

Nov 30, 2008 Pours a thin, dark brown with a small white head that diminishes quickly. Aroma is chocolate and sweet caramel. Body is thin and a bit watery. Taste is smooth soft vanilla, chocolate, and carmael with little to no hoppiness to speak of. Drinkable and good, but not spectacular, and certainly not worth the price.

Nov 30, 2008 A rich brown dark beer with a redish tint and a small white head that disappears completely very quick. Semi-sweet chocolate aroma. Nice sweet cocoa and bock beer flavor with notes of honey and vanilla. This chocolate beer tastes more like beer and less like a milk shake than the others. It’s very good. The body is meium erring on the light side. The finish is plesant and smooth.

Nov 30, 2008 A large complex glass of chocolate milk. Dark with a fluffy head, not real strong in the aroma department, but had such a unique flavor that I have not tasted in a chocolate beer.

Nov 30, 2008 The aroma is smokey, malty, chocolatey. The appearance is a very nice brown with a reddish hue, small tan head with some lacing noted. The flavor has strong malt character, caramel, molasses, and (surprisingly little chocolate. The chocolate lingers a bit on the finish. The finish also leaves only the slightest hop signature on the palate. Not bad at all. The bock is among my favorite styles, and this beer scores decently in this category. But at $14.99 for a bomber, this is over priced. They could have saved some money by ditching the fancy bottle as well.

Nov 30, 2008 Bottle, 2008. Aroma of sweet chocolate, bock-y caramel malt, light smoke, and burnt coffee. Flavor the same, each layer being unveiled at a different time. Was pretty bland at first in fact but turned into a very nice, very chocolaty bock.

Nov 30, 2008 Fresh 2008 vintage. The body is clear but very dark, deep crimson in hue, almost violet. The inky liquid is topped with a thick, foamy, beige colored head that shows nice retention. Jagged flares of lacing give way to some intricate, sticky webbing. While it looks pretty enough, the aroma is a bit underwhelming. Light cocoa powder notes are dulled with overbearing lactose, while burnt caramel, dried dark fruits, and earthy hop spice seem to fall into the background. Flavors show mostly the same elements, but are more clearly delineated and harmonious. Cocoa and caramel shine, while warm, peppery hop spice and dry dark fruits follow along for the ride. A creamy, balanced palate is nice, but not quite substantial enough to be outstanding. This is a decent enough brew, and very nice for the style, but I could do without the fancy packaging and the hefty price tag.

Nov 29, 2008 I brought this one to Thanksgiving dinner and it was well received by those who tried it. Dark colored, not black but a very dark brown, and pours with a thin head and very little retention. The beer is roasty with chocolate flavor and bitter hops towards the finish. It’s different but pretty good, light and easy going, but too thin. Definitely not worth the price either but I expected that. I’m glad I tried it.
