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.

Very creamy, very thick. Count Chocula(I believe that is how you spell his name) would love this beer. The only problem is the after taste, this beer finishes with an ash taste that does not do the ash taste justice. The thickness does not however stop this beer from being smooth.

Pours very deep brown, with tan head that fades. The aroma is cheap malts, chocolatey (duh) and very one dimensional. It’s somewhat thin and slightly fizzy, with predominatly a cocoa flavor. Maybe there’s a hint of malt in there. For the most part, it’s like chocolate soda, with no complexity or balance. All in all it’s a marketing scheme.

Bottle. Drink by May 06 - 7 months out Black pour with small creamy head. Very light aroma of chocolate and something I don’t like. Chocolate flavor. That’s all. Tastes like a chocolate bar straight from Switzerland. Not complex (only chocolate), but good.

Chocolate. All chocolate. Nothing but chocolate. If you like chocolate, this is for you. There is not much else going on.

Bottle. Good chocolate taste! If you want to try a chocolate beer, try this one. Quite sweet and some bread. Low carbonation.

Chocolate in aroma, chocolate in taste. Not surprising for a chocolate beer. Clear mahogany body with light brown head. Sweet nose of chocolate and vanilla. Taste, too. Palate is liking drinking a chololate drink where the chocolate isn’t quite dissolved. This is not a complex beer because there is not a lot else here, but it is enjoyable as a sweet beer.

Year old bottle - this has held up extremely well for a low ABV beer. The nose really reminds me of cocoa powder with those little marshmellows. The body is sweeter, with notes of vanilla and fudge. Pretty one dimensional, but a fun beer none-the-less. I’m just glad I got in the discount rack for $6.
