(11/3/08) Bottle sample at a tasting in Pizza Port in Carlsbad (thanks whoever). I hope this is the right beer because what I tried just had a hand-made label for some competition. Brown color. Aroma of dark bitter chocolate and cocoa. Sweet flavor of dark chocolate, some malt and caramel notes. Medium-bodied. Like liquid chocolate.

Murky dark orange-brown body, thin off-white head. The aroma is more or less a chocolate donut, sweet and doughy. Rich chocolate-laden body. A tootsie roll in a glass. That said, am I rating effective use of chocolate, or the beer? This is not exactly a beer "balanced" by chocolate; it is chocolate.

2006 bottle from buckybeer, Thanks! Nose is of Hersheys Syrup (compared to real stuff and it’s close) Clear dark cherry brown with a large tan head; flavor of sweet chocolate and some malt in a medium body. Best Miller product I’ve had but it needs a little hops.

12 oz. bottle. I’m going to be fair and give this a try. Let’s see. Big chocolate smell upon opening, like a Canfield’s Chocolate Fudge Soda (a shout-out to my Chicago peeps). Regrettably, that’s not a good smell for a beer. Thick fizzy head that settles to a thin layer on top of a deep black-brown brew, with no bubbles on the glass. I can catch some of the lager taste before the chocolate fudge takes over. It’s way more chocolate than beer, but you know, some one trying this after years of Lite may actually find it interesting. I guess I’m voting against the grain here, but it’s the highest rating I’ve given any beer with the name "Miller" on it, and I still think it’s too much chocolate and not enough beer.

Not bad. The strongest chocolate aroma I have ever had in a beer, powerful even out of the bottle. Unlike many other beers there is no coffee or other aromas backing it up. Flavor is like a chocolate flavored caramel or some type of soft chocolate chewy candy. Light brown and a thin body.
