No, carob is NOT chocolaty. It's AWFUL,
and not at all like chocolate. Carob has the
same relationship to chocolate that grape-
flavored Tang has to a fine French cabernet.

I can state as a chocoholic that carob can indeed be deceptively chocolaty,
but it has to be in the right context. My wife makes "protein bars" that
use carob, peanut butter, agave nectar, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds (etc.)
and it's difficult to tell that the flavor is NOT peanut butter & chocolate!
