Brewer's Description: "This beer is based on chemical analysis of pottery fragments found inHonduras which revealed the earliest known alcoholic chocolate drink used by early civilization to toast special occasions. the discovery of this beverage pushed back the earliest use of cocoa for human consumption more than 500 years to 1200 BC. As per the analysis, Dogfish head's Theobroma (food of the gods) is brewed with Aztec cocoa powder and cocoa nibs, honey, chilies, and annatto (fragrant tree seeds). Theobroma is 10% ABV and will be available in Champagne bottles by late spring 2008." Alcohol Content (ABV): 9% Calories: Carbohydrates: Bitterness (IBU): **Stats are based on a 12 ounce beer

Definitely south of the border flavors of cocoa and a little spice (peppery) from the chilies. It's definitely worth trying, but not something I would want to drink a lot of.
