@Simply Beer – that makes a good surprise! I bet its OK to drink now but I’d be curious too as to how it aged. Please stop back and let us know!

I still have last years I never drank. I think i might break it out at my next beer club tasting in Jan as a “surprise”. Wonder how well it holds up over a year+. (mine says drink before April 09)

WOW! This brew is the nectar of the Gods. The mixture of elements (and there are several) will haunt the discriminating pallate. I cannot say enough about the flavor and the multiple layers of intrigue. Talk about smooooooth! Would that this one could be attained at a more pedestrian price tag. Still the splurge was well worth the elavated experience. A very special treat!

That’s about $30 odd bucks our money, (Aussie Peso’s). For one beer! Geez, it’s a bit of a poser when I can almost buy a carton for that. I know the saying of quality over quantity but I do like to feel a little inebriated (read ‘blind drunk’) for my dollar. Maybe I’ll try it when the stock market recovers.

No problem – I’ve read several good reviews on the Chocolate Bock, but yours was the one that compelled me to get out and find it. I think its going to be a yearly tradition for me. I really liked it, and I agree with you on the ‘enhanced’ beer issue. Merry Christmas!

Thanks for giving us some props on your review of the beer. For anyone who sees this beer it is a must. Like I've said on our site before I'm not much a fan of spiced, fruit, or otherwise "enhanced" ales; but this beer is a must.

If I recall correctly, Krausening is ‘kick starting’ a brew mid way through the brewing process, often by adding additional sugar – the Belgians tend to add cane sugar to ‘beef up’ the strength of their ales… while Chocolate Nibs are small pieces of raw cacao, the source of chocolate.

I’ve never seen or heard of an ale quite like this, but will be making a trip to my local beer specialist tomorrow.

Even with the weakness of the pound against the dollar!

$11.99!? Man, I feel ripped off… I paid $15.99 for my bottle. Still, however, really looking forward to cracking it open during the holidays — especially after reviews like this!
