Served cool from 330ml bottle into Brooklyn American pint glass.

L) Clear, golden colour, bubbly. Looks like a standard lager.

S) Unique. Sweet, a bit like cheapo ice cream with a wafer in it and raspberry sauce.

T) Slightly sourish, balanced with fudge-like sweetness, as opposed to a chocolate flavour. No hop bitterness and the raspberry-sauce like flavour comes in as well. No beer. And not really any chocolate.

F) Too flat for a lager.

O) Drinkable and not as stupid as it sounds, but a bit pointless. There are lots of better chocolate beers (in 500ml bottles) and lots of better lagers (in 500ml bottles).

A 330ml bottle poured into a De Struise glass. Amber in colour with carbonation and a white foamy head that disperses. Quite surprises it wasn't a dark colour. Aromas of chololate & sweet malt. Taste is dominated by chocolate and some vanilla, with a golden lager flavour in the background with a mild bitterness. Aftertaste of chocolate. Overall worth a try, but I would avoid a second bottle.

Most bizarre. Chocolate lager - I didn't see that one coming.
Bitter chocolate aroma and taste.
Not to my liking I'm afraid but better than a hot chocolate before bed
beddy-byes.

Bottled
Honestly like Carling with Crusha Chocolate milkshake syrup
It's got a funny bitter finish, not like hops but like paracetamol and far too fizzy
