Frederick Miller Classic Chocolate Lager

Brewed by Miller Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA

A very interesting beer. An almost black brown color to it. A weird chocolate dominated aroma, fake plasticy chocolate. The taste is not really great but not bad. Its kinda like a blend of bud and chocolate milk. Definetely the best miller product out there.

Pours a nice dark brown color with a small head.Huge chocolate aromas whafting off this brew!Upon first sip...wow! Huge velvety smooth chocolate flavor,followed by a slight bitter end.This stuff tastes even better as it warms!Props to miller for a wonderful brew!!

This wasn’t terrible. There was a lot of chocolate and some swill flavors in it. Interesting but nothing you could drink more than a few times. Like someone poured some Nesquick in a Miller Lite. Don’t get me wrong though, props to miller for attempting something different

Bottle. Small tan fizzy head that mostly diminished, virtually no lacing, visible carbonation, transparent, and a reddish brown hue. Nose was chocolate malt, sweet and some hints of cocoa. Flavor was sweet, watery, thin, chocolate malt, and cocoa. Mouthfeel was smooth, watery and thin. Light body. Definitely can smell and taste the chocolate in this brew. Just did not do a whole lot for me. More of a novelty IMO.

Chocolate is very detectable in this one. Pours a muddy brown. Aroma of chocolate and some coffee. Tastes like a darker german style beer with cocoa added. Not syrupy at all, but the chocolate tastes comes on very strong.

Aromas of chocolate malts. Very light on the palate, but I guess that isnt surprising since the bottle says that it is a lager. Flavors of mild malts and cocoa. Tastes like something Leinies would cook up. If the blurb is true about how it was entered into GABF as a bock, that is funny because now they call it a lager. Maybe they figured that the average swill drinker would swoon over a "chocolate lager" and scoff at the term "bock". Seriously, I came into this expecting something syrupy and horrible, but this isnt that bad. Its like a dunkel with a hint of cocoa. Not that I would care to drink more than one of these, but it tastes better than that Michelob Celebrate shamockery. Uh oh, I sense some funky Miller undertones coming out underneath. Even so, still not bad.

2006 bottle. Overwhelming chocolate aroma. This beer smells like a malted milk shake or a chocolate flavored hard candy. There are virtually no traditional lager aromas. Pours a medium to dark brown color with a large amount of tan head, making it look like an English brown ale. Undeniably, the most prominent flavor is malt chocolate. There is also a slight sourness, much as one often finds in oatmeal stouts. No noticeable hops flavor at all. Too sweet for my tastes. Medium-bodied and smooth in the palate. <P>I decided to try this beer because I am a big fan of Young’s Double Chocolate Stout, and I was interested in tasting a lager version of a chocolate beer. In Young’s Double Chocolate Stout, the chocolate taste is subdued, and it naturally complements the classic sweet stout flavors. This beer, in contrast, tastes like someone mixed a dunkel lager with a melted chocolate milkshake. In other words, it doesn’t taste like a natural mixture at all. I applaud Miller for putting something interesting out on the market for once in addition to their normal, bland pale lager swill, but this one misses the mark. I thought that Miller was targeting craft brew lovers with this beer, but instead they seem to be going after the same unsophisticated beer drinkers who buy Lite (or perhaps their Godiva Liqueur drinking girlfriends). This is a novelty brew, not a beer-lovers’ beer. If you want a good chocolate beer, I highly suggest that you go out and purchase Young’s while it is still available.

Bottle shared at a tasting. Pours dark bronw with a small lt brown head. Aroma actually smells like milk chocolate and not a bitter dark chocolate. Almost like nestles quick with a lot of sweetness coming through. This tasted a little artificial
