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.

Bottled. Pours a clear deep dark red-brown colour with a medium rather short lasting deep beige head. Very nice aroma of dark chocolate and cocoa with dark fruits and some coffee. Very good mouthfeel. Very nice sweet dark cocoa and chocolate flavour with a pleasant bitterness. Thanks a lot yespr!

75 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a thick light brown head. Aroma is dark chocolate, slight dusty and with a minor fruity note. Flavour is solid chocolate flavoured. Sweet. Ends with a very light lingering chocolate note.

{Courtesy of yespr, session @ yespr] Dark brown with medium off white head. Sweet roasted malt, chocolate and overripe fruits hits the nose. Sweet malty flavor with loads of chocolate and ripe fruits. Very sweet stuff.

Bottle. [Courtesy of yespr, another great session @ yespr] Small fizzy off-white head that mostly diminished. Spare lacework. Dark mahogany colour. Lovely mix of bread and chocolate, light notes of toasted malt. Over the palate vanilla, sweet chocolate, bread, fruit. Surprisingly enough it was medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Heavy sweet flavour. Sweet chocolate finish.

Flavorful, and aromatic. This beer is one to remember. There is not an overwhelming taste of chocolate, yet there is enough to make the experience heavenly. There is not many dunkler bocks that can stand up to this one. Well done Sam Adams!

Medium brown coarseish head. Deep dark red barely translucent body with carbonation. Cocoa and chocolate aroma with milky notes. Sweet cocoa and chocolate taste, a bit watery, with earthy notes. No aftertaste. It’s ok, but too chocolatey, and not enough else besides. (0.75l bottle at Knut Albert’s.)

Smooth cocoa flavour, easy drinking, but I find this a bit too sweet and unbalanced. Try again!
