Appears a transparent light gold with a small white cap. Spotty bits of lacing are left around the glass.
Smell is of caramel, toffee, and carapils malt. The chocolate? In the form of cocoa pebbles cereal.
Taste is of the aromas with the chocolate only peeking it's head out at the very end. I'm not sure what to think of this to be quite honest.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a clean, crisp finish.

(Served in an American pint glass)

A- Nice creamy marshmallow head on top of a clear light deep orangish-golden body. good carbonation.

S- When the bartender set the beer on the bar I could already smell the chocolate. It was not the smell of dark chocolate but more like chocolate-cream filling or chocolate from a diet/energy bar.

T- This beer had a chocolate fudge flavor that grew to more of a chocolate diet bar flavor. There was a little pale malt flavor hiding under the chocolate and a sweet finish with chocolate also.

M- The body was medium-light with not strong alcohol or astringency.

D- They said that this is the second batch because the first batch sold out so quickly. I actually had trouble finishing the beer. The chocolate was overpowering but worse yet it was a bad chocolate taste. It gets points for creativity but needs a lot of work to refine the flavors.
