Sep 30, 2008 Liked this beer alot, it was a little watery on mouth feel, however the title suggests cocoa and it doesn’t fall short in my oppinion. Tastes similar to a classic porter mixed with the milk you might drink in the bottom of a cereal bowl of cocoa puffs. Good beer for the winter, when your not looking for a heavy beer.

Aug 19, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a very dark red-brown with small tan head. The aroma is obvious chocolate, some roasty and ashy notes, and just a touch of raisin. The flavor is chocolate, a little bit of burnt grain, and a general sweet maltiness. It dries out just a touch in the finish, with some more ashy tones. There’s something a little bit harsh in the aftertaste, a little astringent maybe. But other than that, I didn’t think this was too bad.

Aug 10, 2008 Bottle from 2006. Dark brown pour with minimal head and lace. Bitter cocoa aroma. Highly oxidized flavor, I should’ve known with all the evaporation that occurred within the bottle

Aug 2, 2008 Found this on clearance at my local shop and glad I picked it up. Pours very dark brown with a great thick head which diminishes pretty quickly and lots of yeast suspended in my pour but doesn’t taste yeasty. Aroma is heavy of coca with hints of roasted malts and a bit of a caramel sweetness. Flavor of coca is strong in the beer, little hops flavor, sweet malt flavor in there as well. The alcohol doesn’t really fall into what I would consider a "warmer" since there is no feeling of warmth from this at all. Flavor reminds me a lot of the Frederick Miller Classic Chocolate Lager but not as strong of a chocolate flavor. But overall is a much better beer than I was expecting. Will definitely pick this up again. Great dessert beer!

Jul 17, 2008 Pours transparent brown with a fizzy tan head that is gone in about 10 seconds. Nice powdered chocolate and nutty aroma. The flavor and body are hugely disappointing, has hints of flavor present in the aroma but they are very muted. Pathetic palate, very thin and watery, leaves zero lacing. Very disappointing beer, could have been pretty good with a little more body and character. I’m ashamed I paid $10 for this 6pack.
