Another swing and a miss from Dogfish

...or if not a miss, at least a foul tip. I broke open the Dogfish Theobroma tonight. It could be that I had ridiculous expectations for this beer, but I think it would have been a letdown no matter what. Supposedly this is from some ancient Aztec recipe for some sort of alcoholic chocolate drink. When you read that description, you think it must be a dark beer, but in fact it is super light...like a light IPA. There is also not really even a hint of chocolate flavor. This is basically a fruity, white grape-like drink that tastes like a better version of the Midas Touch (see my earlier entry on that here under the "blurst of times" section). To be fair, it's drinkable and enjoyable, but it's really nothing particularly special, and definitely not worth the $12/bottle. I'm glad I tried it, but I don't' think I'll get it again, unless maybe I'm in Rehobeth, DE and get it on draft.
