loaf Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 From Frederick Miller better known as Miller Brewing. Just found a 4 pack for $5.43. Gonna try some tonight. Classic Chocolate Lager will be available from October through December 2006 in six Midwestern markets; Chicago, Wisconsin, Minneapolis, Cleveland, Indianapolis and Valparaiso/Northwest Indiana.

Chavez Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 It's OK - didn't knock my socks off but was smooth and drinkable. Sorta lacked character (for lack of a better word) - solid brew but doesn't stand out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 It seems that a chocolate lager would be a little thinner than necessary and a stout woulda been more in line but we'll give it a go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 It seems that a chocolate lager would be a little thinner than necessary and a stout woulda been more in line yeah, definitely, that was my first thought. why make a chocolate lager, when other styles -- porter and stout in particular -- would be so much better suited? the answer, i guess, is that miller is making it.

I had a Tommyknocker Cocoa Porter last year in Idaho Springs at the brewery and loved it. They didn't bottle it last year, but are bottling this year. I picked up a six pack last weekend and if you like this style, you'll like this one! Edited December 1, 2006 by sundaynfl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loaf Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 I was also thinking that this is a good way to get people to buy it who want to have a chocolate beer but are wusses and don't want to drink a heavier beer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
