I am the bestest wifey.
( found it at Costplus market place. 5.99)
I’ve seen this in a gift pack with other weird Christmas-themed beers (Santa’s Butt, something like Grouchy Elf).
I’d get it for the novelty value, but I hate beer and related beverages.
Now if “a Lump of Coal” was a euphimism for… say… wild, crazy, sweaty, 4-hour-long sex, I’d agree you were the bestest wifey.
If’n you’re getting him the six-pack, you’re an great wifey but not the bestest.
“Is that a lump of coal, or are you just happy to see me?”
My mother found little packages of “lumps of coal” one Christmas, in a little red mesh bag. She put it in my little brother’s stocking. It was the only item he got… until he found the note that pointed to where the “real” stocking was. The expression on his face… Well, it was funny. Wouldn’t have been funny without the “real” stocking, though, which he found in very short order. (I don’t like mean practical jokes.)
It’s from “Belchertown”.
Funny.
Now they have “lump of coal” bubblegum. 
Will you marry me, Shirley?
If my wife tells me she’s getting me a lump of coal, I’m not expecting a bottle! 
My nanny loved anthracite candy, which if I remember right is a strongly licorice-flavored hard candy. (She also used to eat up all my black jelly beans.) One year Mom asked Nanny what she wanted for Christmas and Nanny said, nothing really, except maybe a box of anthracite candy.
“You want me to give my own mother a stocking full of coal?!?” asked the flodmother

Seems to get mixed reviews. Some people say it’s a nice middle-of-the-road beer, a few can’t stand it.
Chocolate-flavored beer sounds a little icky to me, but it still beats Rhino Shit
Chocolate in beer makes a lot of sense if the beer is very dark. Darkly roasted malts often have chocolate and coffee notes. All three foods contain carbohydrates and proteins that have undergone a chemical transformation by heat and thus contain related compounds.
“Smell of chocolate” != “chocolate-flavored beer”. It just means that the aroma that came out with the blend of malts and hops, etc., has a subtle note of chocolate to it. Even that is overstating it. It’s not dark-molasses-flavored or toffee-flavored either. My bottle of 2004 Toasted Head California Shiraz says “rich raspberry and cherry flavors abound, with a hint of lavender and spice” on the back–that doesn’t mean that it’s raspberry-cherry-lavender-spice-flavored, it just means that subtle taste characteristics of the wine vaguely reminded tasters of those foods.
ETA: To give you a beer example, scottblaze said this of one of my favorite beers on BeerAdvocate (Hazed & Infused by the Boulder Beer Co.):
This was from someone who rated it highly (he gave it a smell score of 4/5). Obviously, it didn’t smell or taste like hay, because nobody would want to drink that.
Of course, there’s always the option of making your own coal

In southeast Georgia where I grew up as a kid, our equivalent of “lump of coal” was “box of switches”, as in “If you’re not good this year, Santa’s going to bring you a box of switches”. Switches (in case you’re wondering) were not clever little electronic gating devices, by the way, but rather limber but tough long-stemmed weeds such as “teaweed” that were cut, leaves removed, & used to whip wicked misbehaving kids with, a painful step up from spanking.
When I was perhaps 11 and my little sister 9, I took the empty cardboard tube from a finished roll of wrapping paper, cut about two dozen switches from the empty lot behind our house, slipped them in the tube, flattened the ends, & wrapped them up in wrapping paper addressed To HerName From Santa and put them under the tree with everything else.
She weren’t amused much.
I think that was a great idea… I like it…
