12oz bottle to a pint glass, thanks to Callipalegic. Code on the neck reads 12279-DH45. Pours a hazy brown / red color. Lots of white flakes floating about in the glass. Good, thin off-white head. Leaves a little loose lace. Medium body. Smooth carbonation of moderate strength. Slight creaminess to the body. Some chocolate in the flavor, and light spiciness, over a wheat-bready malt base. Sweet taste overall, light spice. Interesting, but odd beer overall. I don’t really think the chocolate and spice notes work with the sweet wheat flavor of Shock Top. I appreciate that they’re trying something a little different, but it still tastes like an AB-InBev product.. There is a slight basic watery metallic bite in the finish. I was able to get through it without much trouble, but the lingering aftertaste doesn’t make me sad that it’s gone

...well, dark, roasted notes. No wheat in there really, finishes slightly spicy and smoky. One of the "better" shock tops.

Nice pour - thin even head with deep reddish brown color. Aroma very feint. Solid chocolate flavor, but not spicy (surprising the chilis don’t come out more). Gotta say I prefer the lighter wheat beers, but this one’s OK.

Does smell and taste of chocolate malt and some spices. I dont taste any of the chili and this is highly carbonated pretty decent seasonal beer.

Pours a reddish brown with a finger length head. Had a grainy aroma with a bit of chocolate. Light sweetness, and had a bit of a chocolate aftertaste. This beer is really thin and watery. This is good beer for Budweiser fans.

Bottle: Hazy pour, sort of brownish caramel in color with a thick beige head. Aroma is maltier than expected, along with some faint herbal and spicey notes. A little bit of chocolate. I lose interest in the taste; metallic, grain, and malts come together, but rather thin. Finishes a bit dry and floral, but metallic again.

Well if it was the end of the world and this is all I had I'd be pissed.... Not that great, pretty blah ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

bottle into glass, reddish pour with off white head, toffe malt aroma, taste is similar with some toast, and carael, mild hints of fruit, , just ok, not again

Bottle from Wegmans pic a 6. Pours a hazy amber-brown color with a medium sized frothy tan head. Some head retention. Aroma of wheat, mild cocoa and a fruity finish. The taste is wheat, chocolate, caramel, mild hops. Medium bodied.

Pours golden brown. Chili taste starts off strong, fades quickly though. Chocolate after taste. Nice aroma. Didn't get a pour for with the head as recommended. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
