Had a Chocolate Ale at lunch... a couple of people who don't drink nearly as much stout as I do thought it was weak, and I thought the same. I never use 'mouth feel' when talking about beer like beeradvocate reviewers, but when taking a drink, it really did seem to have potential with the smell and 'mouth feel', but overall I didn't think there was much to it, even for an ale and especially considering the hype and reviews with mentions of cocoa puffs and chocolate milk.
