While not the first chocolate lager on the block (we’ve covered Sam Adams Chocolate Bock previously), nor the first to combine candy and alcohol (see Skittlebrau and Atomic Fireball Cinnamon Mead), Miller is giving chocolate lager a try. The Frederick Miller Classic Chocolate Lager is made with cacao nibs, which contribute to the satisfying chocolate flavor.
Miller will be releasing the beer this winter in the Midwest US for around $6 for a 4 pack. Classic Chocolate Lager will be available from October through December 2006 in six Midwestern markets; Chicago, Wisconsin, Minneapolis, Cleveland, Indianapolis and Valparaiso/Northwest Indiana.
–Editor’s note: I tried chocolate lager once – it tasted like beer way more than chocolate. Since I don’t like beer much, I didn’t like it.
I live in Pittsburgh. I would love to try some. How can I get some.
go to a store
