| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 29, 2006 Pours very dark almost black with little to no head. Definite aroma of dark chocolate. Tastes very malty & sweet and there is no denying thechocolate flavor in this one. Overall not bad as a sampler but couldn’t drink many pints of this. alafito (334), tijuana, Mexico
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 1/5 | 7/20 | Mar 27, 2006 Diet Coke with chocalte syrup... yuk!! Im sad i bought this bottle mostly becuase of its amazing presentation, and also because of the braging about the Scharffen Berger making the chocolate for it, and also the $15 dollars make it seem like the real thing. The appearance is also deceptive it pours almost black with a tan head.. and then the dream is over, the foam goes away like in 5 seconds, and then u taste it. The flavor is right on Cheries and Chocolate and some roasted smokey malts, the problem is its artificial, the body is oily and thin like water it finishes sweet and greasy, buy now the whole carbonation is gone. I actually tried to drink it with some chocolate to make it better but all i did was end up eating chocalte and throwing the expesive coke away. Dont judge this book by its cover!!!

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Mar 27, 2006 Bottle, best before March 2005. Tried this about a year and a half ago... didn’t like it then and time has not helped this odd brew. Rye and caramel malts intermingled with semi-sweet chocolate. It just doesn’t work. Overpriced, overrated, thank God its over. murrayswine (101), Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Mar 27, 2006 This beer was a gift from my buddy Ryan.
THis beer’s bottle presentation is amazing, with the tin label. It pours a dark brown with a light brown head. Loads of carbonation. The smell is all Swiss mocha, with a bready malt backbone that soaks up the rest. The best is the first tast. I had this beer at 55 degrees, and the sweet chocolate malt hits you like silk. It’s so well placed on the tongue, with the way it just coats and goes down like crack. This is the best beer to be joined with chocolate I have ever had! Wonder if it would cellar well?

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 23, 2006 $15 bucks a bottle!!! Tough to pay that but its worth it. Very dark pour with an off-white head. Aroma of dark chocolate and some berries. I had about 8oz’s and I was full. pstorvik (60), Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 18, 2006 750 mL bottle at cellar temp. Pours dark brown with slight red hue and medium off white head. Strong dark chocolate and sweet malt aroma with some berry fruit as well. Velvety chocolate texture and loads of dark chocolate with cherry or raspberry fruit in the flavor. Finishes sweet and does improve as it warms. Wish it weren’t so expensive. winegarner (220), san diego, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 17, 2006 Poured almost black with a deep red at the edges. Very strong aromas of toffee, chocolate, vanilla, and dark fruits. At first the taste was mostly of caramel and dark cherry with hints of vanilla and chocolate. As the beer warmed the chocolate and vanilla came through better s well as more complex fruit flavors of apricot and currant. This is very full bodied and sweet. It leaves a coating of sugar on the roof of your mouth and lips. Very enjoyable beer to sip especially when it reaces room temperature. Papsoe (14996), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 17, 2006 (Bottle 75 cl) Pours a beautiful mahogany with a warm, reddish glow and a creamy, off-white head. Distinct chocolate in the nose. Rather light-bodied with sweetish, roasted malt and loads of chocolate accents - more sort of milk chocolate though. Absolutely no bitterness. Rather delicate, but probably only to be enjoyed in small quantities - could easily get cloying. And it really hasn’t got much to do with a Bock. 150306
