Jan 21, 2007 Bottle. Black colour with a creamy tan head. Aroma is chocolate and vanilla. Flavour of sweet milk chocolate but without getting heavy. Sweet and sickly finish. The bottle is too big.

Jan 13, 2007 it is dark brown - nearly black - with a couple inches of thick, deep tan head. Moderate lacing throughout the glass. The aroma is the first indication of what’s to come - sweet chocolate. So far, so good.
But...
The first sip is more of that same sweet chocolate, followed by more sweet chocolate, finishing with more sweet chocolate. The chocolate flavor itself is quite sugary. While ’artificial’ might not be the right word to describe the flavor, it would not take much to convince me that it is the right word. Let’s be nice and call it an inexpensive chocolate - more like Nestle’s Quik than Godiva. By the third sip, I have had enough of this chocolate.
OK, so the chocolate’s not for me. How about the rest of the beer? Malt? Hop presence? Anything? Nope. Just chocolate and carbonation. A medium-bodied chocolate soda for adults.
All in all, too sweet and too much cheap chocolate for me. If you’re cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs, you might like this beer more than I did.

Jan 12, 2007 Meh. Lots of chocolate, obviously, but little else. More carbonation than I would have liked or expected. Rogue’s Chocolate hits the mark more than this does. Still, delicious as an aperitif or simple indulgence.

Dec 24, 2006 Updated: Jul 6, 2007Very creamy, very thick. Count Chocula(I believe that is how you spell his name) would love this beer. The only problem is the after taste, this beer finishes with an ash taste that does not do the ash taste justice. The thickness does not however stop this beer from being smooth.

Dec 11, 2006 Pours very deep brown, with tan head that fades. The aroma is cheap malts, chocolatey (duh) and very one dimensional. It’s somewhat thin and slightly fizzy, with predominatly a cocoa flavor. Maybe there’s a hint of malt in there. For the most part, it’s like chocolate soda, with no complexity or balance. All in all it’s a marketing scheme.

Dec 6, 2006 Bottle. Drink by May 06 - 7 months out Black pour with small creamy head. Very light aroma of chocolate and something I don’t like. Chocolate flavor. That’s all. Tastes like a chocolate bar straight from Switzerland. Not complex (only chocolate), but good.
