Feb 27, 2009 Bottle poured brown red with tan head. Aroma of milk, chocolate, and cocoa. Taste with similar but the body was weak and watery. Over all not terrible but not interesting.

Feb 27, 2009 Bottle, shared by wolf. Poured dark brown red with tan head. Aroma of chocolate, milk,and cocoa. Taste was similar. Liight chocolate, cocoa. The body texture was thin but not watery. I guess this is how the style is supposed to be. Overall considering the price tag.... probably not worth it. Thanks wolf sharing

Feb 27, 2009 This is amazing!! i’ve had a wide range of chocolate beers but none as delicate as this one. strong cocoa flavor while still being subtle. how the hell did they do that? one of my favorite beers...i try to get it every holiday season. update 12/26/08-had another one for the first time in a while. BEST FINISH EVER!! Smooth as silk, I can’t think of how to improve it. I’d give the aftertaste an 11/10 if I could. If I have another that good, i’ll give it a 5!...screw it. it couldn’t be better. my second "5"."

Feb 27, 2009 750ml bottle. Pours a fairly dark brown with a medium lasting head. Aroma is definitely malty and caramelly. Flavor is nicely malty, though not a whole lot of the chocolate that’s supposed to be there. Finish is pleasantly dry, with a little chocolate aftertaste. Good mouthfeel. A well-made beer by Sam Adams, though I’d prefer not to pay $17 for it.

Feb 22, 2009 Pours a translucent chestnut with a fluffy, ecru head and sticky, wispy lace. The nose is of sweet, bready (Munich?) malt, cocoa, light caramel and a faint nuttiness. Medium-bodied with a slick, almost flat, mouthfeel and a mildly astringent finish. Fairly complex for a beer weighing in at 5.5% ABV: a blend of Munich malt and cocoa, fruity and light while still substantial on the tongue. The only detractor is the finish which is a bit drying and astringent possessing a slightly medicinal aftertaste. Overall, this is a solid beer and one of the better of this style that I have sampled. While the bottle is fairly "cool" looking, the $15 price tag will likely deter me from picking up another bottle any time soon.

Feb 22, 2009 750 ml bottle. Pours very dark brown with a moderate tan head that faded to a ring after about a third of the glass and left nice lace all the way to the end. Very pleasant aroma of cocoa and malt along with perhaps a few notes of vanilla. The flavor is equally nice with abundant chocolate along with malt and just a bit of caramel. Very silky, smooth mouthfeel with virtually no bitterness to speak of. I like that this beer is a bit light bodied; if it were heavy it would be too sweet and cloying. This is not something I would drink every day, but as a dessert beer, it is excellent.

Feb 21, 2009 Chocolate. Yes! Sam Adams did a wonderful job on this beer! The aroma greats you with a slightly chocolate bitter smell. Sipping the beer gives a slight taste of chcolate. But, swirling around this fabulous beer in your mouth... that is where it is at! I have never tasted a beer that had such a almost bittersweet chcolate taste!
Is it worth the money? No. But, is it worth tasting? Yes!!!
