Commercial Description:
Samuel Adams® partnered with Scharffen Berger Chocolate to develop their newest innovation, Samuel Adams® Chocolate Bock. Tettnang Tettnanger and Spalt hops were hand-selected from the world's oldest growing area and combined with a complex selection of malts including two row Pale, Munich and caramel to create a rich and satisfying brew. This dark beer has a big, malty character that is combined with the subtle sweetness of chocolate. The chocolatiers at Scharffen Berger crafted an exclusive blend of chocolate for Samuel Adams® made with cocoa beans from Ghana called forastero. Samuel Adams® Chocolate Bock was aged on a bed of this chocolate to create its unique layers of flavor. As the beer matured, the fruity, tart, earthy and chocolate aromas were infused into the liquid to give the brew a complex, full-bodied taste with a velvety finish. A hint of vanilla was added to meld the symphony of flavors together. Due to legal restrictions, Samuel Adams® Chocolate Bock can not be sold in the states of Alabama, Louisiana, and Utah.

Pours a super deep brown, almost black. Looks great under the light. Average sized brown head. Aroma is chocolate, raisins and malts. This beer is tastes exactly like it’s name: it IS essentially a bock that tastes like chocolate. Body is actually rather thin, a bit fizzy and finish is long. Good stuff.

Pours a very dark almost black colour with a little brownish head. Aroma is of Fizz/Effervescence with some malts, sugars, and spice. Flavour is chocolately with some thiness and lightness. It has a balanced flavour with no one overwhelming ingredient. Nice Brew.

Pours clear dark chocolate with a light brown head. Very sweet aroma of cocoa and Mexican vanilla. Flavor is heavy to the chocolate, with a nice malt profile. Could you warm this and put marshmallows in it?

Brewed in the USA... Pours a deep brown color with ruby highlights and a small off hite hea. Aroma of cocoa powder, caramel and malts. Taste of vanilla beans, cocoa powder, malts and dark fruits. Mouthfeel is thin in body with a slightly sweet malty finish. The first thing i woud like to say is they need to remove the chocolate from the label. 2nd, not sure why this was an award winner? But on a positive note the bottle is pretty cool........ :)

(Bottle) Very dark brown colour with ruby hints when seen through light. Creamy, beige head. Malty nose with notes of chocolate, cocoa, dark rye bread, dark fruit and roasted grain. Malty taste with dark bread, dark fruit, chocolate and cocoa. A bit roasted. Starts dry, but turns sweeter towards the finish. Fairly low bitterness. Medium body, slightly spritzy mouthfeel. Well balanced and tasty beer. Nice.
