Do they state that the choc. wheat is what drives the flavor??

I thought that it was mainly used for color precisely because it didn't flavor the way choc. malt does.

We've used it in small amounts, for coloring, in one of our rye beers but maybe just not enough to detect flavor.

This is from the description for Chocolate Malt on Austin Homebrew's site. They didn't have a description for chocolate wheat......
"Chocolate" refers to the color of this malt and its flavor. It will have a rich roasted coffee/cocoa flavor when used in higher percentages, and that flavor is complimentary to porters, stouts, browns, and other darker beers. Chocolate malt can be used in all beer styles for color adjustments with minor to no flavor contributions. The usage rate for porters and stouts is 1-10% of the total grain bill.

I just started a Chocolate Coffee Stout yesterday, and I decided to try all grains for flavors, no added chocolate or cocoa or coffee. I used chocolate malt, chocolate wheat, and coffee malt for the chocolate and coffee flavors. We'll see in about 2 months how they do on their own.

you can use a chocolate wheat malt, not sure if this one needs to be mashed. Dry spicing with a good quality organic coca nib would be nice
