     Volcanes del Sur Premium Bock Artesenal Chocolate (Cervecera Latinoamericana)
Along with Honig Ale from Kunstmann, this Chocolate Bock is among a handful of more unique Chilean beers. Volcanes del Sur (Southern Volcanoes) is a line of beers from Cervecera Latinoamericana which makes several other beers.
Here we go...
Pour - a bit soda like. This actually reminds a lot of the way a cold can of Pepsi looks when you pour it into a glass. What little bubbly head there was is quick to go away. Looks pretty carbonated.
Aroma - this smells like a Fudgsicle. I kid you not. Lots of sweet chocolate and Tootsie Roll smells come shooting out from the glass. Absolutely the most chocolate aroma I've ever smelled from a glass of beer. Hmmm, this could go in several different directions, I shall hope for the best. Taste - again, the Tootsie Rolls and Fudgsicles invade my senses. I feel like someone melted them all into a glass of decent lager and told me to drink it. This is actually pretty smooth despite the carbonation levels and it has some backbone providing a decent body to this very sweet brew.
Overall - very interesting. Not a beer I'd drink more than one of and I actually split this one in half and it was plenty. If you like chocolate beers this one is for you.
Would I buy more of it? - I will go with no.
Note - Volcanes del Sur beers are produced in the town of Osorno, Chile. This is located in Region X and the town itself sits within site of Volcán Osorno, an active volcano that last erupted in 1869. Chile is home to 36 active volcanoes, the 5th most in the world.
