Jul 4, 2006 Some say to review a beer wihout considering the price. I tried not to do this and think my review is a fair one. Teh body was black with a medium tan colored head. The aroma was cocoa with caramel and some strogn boozy bourbon notes. There was also some vanilla countering the chocolate. The taste was milk chocolate with some slightl raspberry. There was also vanilla and some honey. In the finish I tasted pancakes with a hint of coffee. Nicely made, but there are much better chocoalte tasting beers for a much smaller price.

Jun 9, 2006 A great grab with a gift certificate to a local liquor store, whose beers I’ve mostly had, and which doesn’t let you break the sixers. The pour into my new La Chouffe tulip glass was freakin’ beautiful, nice tan head over top of a dark black beer with maybe some reddish edges. The aroma was chocolate with some light vanilla notes underneath. The flavor wasn’t much different with some licorice mixed in there. The mouthfeel was moderate to heavy. I didn’t find this to be as chocolatey as the Young’s Double Choco, which I liked a lot. So, two thumbs up here, price excluded.

May 29, 2006 ྤ.18.06) 1 pint, 9.4 oz brown bottle from DiCarlo’s, Mundelein, IL. Bottle labeled as best before May 2006. Poured clear brown with medium off-white head. Average carbonation. Sweet malt and chocolate in the nose. Medium bodied bock that starts with light malt sweetness and dark chocolate malt flavor. Creamy and rich. Some sharpness (carbonation?) in the mouth. Finished with light malt sweetness and light lingering bitterness. A very tasty bock suitable as a dessert beer.

May 28, 2006 Farily mild aroma. Pours deep brown, with a thick, foamy head that fades slowly. Sweet, very sweet. Sickly sweet. You can taste the chocolate and vanilla. The finish is rather clean for such a sweet beer.

May 28, 2006 Bomber marked "Best by May 06". Sable pour with a light brown head. Nose is richly chocolate, some vinous and sweet coffee notes. Flavor is sweet, rich chocolate, a bit of coffee, light sweet malt. Buttery texture, but oddly light bodied. Medium bitter chocolatey finish, cleaner than expected. I wasn’t sure what to expect from this, but I found it really good. Could be cheaper, but $16 isn’t outrageous.

May 27, 2006 This is a nice thick rich beer. It had plenty of flavors to go around. It was a nice bock with strong chocolate characteristics. A must try for dark beer drinkers.

May 23, 2006 Bottle. Clear deep ruby color with bubbly tan head. Complex aroma; molasses, toast, and of course, chocolate. Carbonation is on the low end. Sweet and chocolatey throughout with a lingering sweetness and milk chocolate aftertaste. Pretty good stuff.
