Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Flavored beers are most often produced by smaller, regional breweries, while the national brewers tend to stick with the tried-and-true brands that they know their consumers already have a taste for. But it seems like more of the major brewers are catching on to the trend and releasing seasonal or flavored brews. Miller Brewing Co. is introducing a chocolate beer, Frederick Miller Classic Chocolate Lager, that will be sold throughout the midwest from October to December. The beer won a gold medal at the 2005 Great American Beer Festival and is made up of a blend of cacao nibs and six different malts, which supposedly give it a more complex flavor than regular beer. It will be sold in "sold in four packs of 12-ounce bottles and will be marketed for holiday gift giving."
I won't comment on the gifting value of a four-pack of beer, but I guess it's nice to know that the company encourages sharing.

There is really no taste of Miller in it what so ever. That is the reason I thought it would be nasty but no taste of beer at all really. Just a very smooth choclate flavor. This one is something special! I live in Milwaukee so there is plenty on supply, lol. YEEEEEEEEEAH!! Only drawback is, from what I have seen so far in the liquor store, it only comes in 4 packs and it runs about $5-$6 per. Other then that, which is no biggy, go get some!!!
