thejoeshow (111), Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA Jul 8, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a deep dark brown with a small tan head that lacks retention. Nose is like diving into a chocolate syrup. Smells very sweet and delicious. Very chocolate flavor. This almost doesn’t even taste like beer. Very good though. This is the type of beer that can get people into trouble. The body is a little lacking, just a little too thin for me. Overall, this beer is a nice little treat that if got or get a chance to have, you should check it out. My bottle was aged one year and stood the test of time just fine (proper handling permitting). esjaygee (733), Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA Jun 8, 2008 Brown with a tan head. Aroma of cocoa and sweet malts. Taste is overpowered by the cocoa and isn’t balanced out very well. Subtle notes of coffee exist but it’s just a bit too sweet for me. phishpond417 (1418), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Apr 24, 2008 Hm...not so sure about this shabby attempt from Miller. Pours a dark brown colour with a medium sized tan head. hint of cocoa aroma and chocolate milk. roasted malt flavors and maybe some coffee. Still undercarbonated and watered down. holdenn (1150), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jan 18, 2008 2006 edition bottle. Pours dark brown with a reddish tint and a beige soapy head. Nose reminds me of fake easter chocolate - cadebury cream eggs and those colorful ones that are all malty inside. Watery body. Sweet easter sugars. Chocolate a little grainy. But so much of that sweet fake sugar. My hopes were low, but this actually exceded them. Way to go Fred! heemer77 (3667), Savannah, Missouri, USA Jan 10, 2008 Dark, ruddy brown body with a light off white head. Cocoa dominates the nose with some peanuts. Not much else in the simple nose. The taste has some strong chocolate flavored candy with some almonds. This is very one dimensional, and it’s not a bad thing in this case. A decent, candy type chocolate beer that I would like to give ot people to show the possibility of different beer flavorings. Surprisingly decent.
