Poured into a pint glass.

Appearance: Pitch black that pours a thick beige head that quickly dissipates.

Smell: Chocolate and a hint of vanilla.

Taste: Sweet, taste like chocolate syrup. No wheat noticed

Mouthfeel: Very smooth, kind of coats the mouth.

Overall: Better than I expected, a sweet chocolate beer that if perfect for a winter night. I would drink it again.

Shock Top Chocolate Wheat got it in a 12 mix pack 7 years again !

Look: Brown/black colours, a brownish lacing

Smell: Chocolate malt and barley, a bit artificial for my taste but does come up pretty nice

Taste: Mostly same as the smell but the artificial notes is kicking quite a bit.

Feel: light to medium body, medium carbonation, easy drinking tho, but that artificial taste just coming back is not very pleasant

So overall would I recommend it ? No

Would i buy it again ? No

Alright, this is gonna be a positive point deviation. I like the beer.

Pours a mild tobacco like brown with some black kind of color, thin light beige like head in the 3/5" range. The aroma pushed a strong amount of chocolate without much in the way of discernable malt/barley roasting. Starting to wonder about how they got this color. . .

Taste was sweet, and delivered an enjoyable chocolate taste over a very light body which is betrayed by the color scheme here. The wheat seems to provide a lighter mouth feel than the color is indicative of. You might call it thin, but this is a session strength banger. Even though its a winter beer, it would be just fine and plenty appreciated in the summertime. Its consistent too, all 6 bottles were the same even years apart. Hefty vanilla addition. I vastly prefer this iteration to the flagship Shocktop. I dunno if I've seen it the last few winters though, hope to see it again someday, would legit buy again.

Not sure how old this bottle was, with cryptic bottle dating that I refuse to fight to decipher.

Appearance: Nearly black, with a limited head that dissipates immediately. No lace at all.

Aroma: Cocoa and some burnt malts.

Taste: Like a cola minus the fizz. Older bottle? Who knows. Awful beer? Pretty sure. Cola-like flavoring — cocoa and vanilla, but kinda artificial. Finishes light and with only the lingering flavor of medicinal cola. No, thanks.
