If it doesn't contain chocolate, it isn't mole. It is usually made with Chiles, and the Chile flavor usually predominates, but you will always taste the chocolate. It is not a particularly sweet sauce, the chocolate seems to take some of the fire out of the Chiles. It is made with chocolate and not normally with sweet milk chocolate.
The best I think, is mole poblano. That name comes from the City of Puebla where the story, or legend is that a group of nuns spent all night grinding the chocolate into a powder when creating the first mole for a dinner being given to honor Hernan Cortes.
You will never know until you try it. I love it, my suegra makes a wonderful mole, and I will order just about anything in a restaurant if it contains mole. Everyones taste is different though and it is conceivable that some sub-humans may not care for it.
You will never learn how delicious (or terrible) many Mexican dishes are until you start tasting them.
