Chocolate Elf combines luscious notes of cacao and sweet cream with the cherries and subtle spices of a holiday favorite. It all adds up to a glass of chocolate-covered cherry goodness.

Can from JR's for a buck off the clearance rack. Looks like rootbeer with very little if any head. Nose is hints of mild chocolate. First taste is quite rude; its bitter malt and just maybe a hint of chocolate on the aftertaste. Not real good. To call this a chocolate brew is quite misleading. And who can find the cherries and sweet cream attributes? Totally missing. Actually it seems like its the mad elf, with some dark coloring added. Then they threw in a couple of cocoa beans in there so they could say it was chocolatised. Yep they fooled me on this one. Even my better half, who likes chocolate beers couldn't handle this mess. After having the mad dreams, which was rather tasty and enjoyable, this stuff is an utter disappointment. Maybe I shouldn't compare the two? But they both used mad elf as the base substrate. Glad I only spent a buck on this bomb of a tick.
