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. Dark ruby red colour, mediumsized brown head. Aroma of chocolate, plum, sour fruits and hops. Flavour is chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. Some bitterish notes in the finish, but mostly chocolate only in the flavour.

Dark brown. Small receeding head. So.. this is pretty chocolate-dominated in every way.. Seeing how it’s American, I half feared this was going to be Hershey-cheapo-chocolate but it wasn’t. I’ve got a jug of unprocessed criollo/forastero beans that I picked up in Madagascar and this beer shared alot of characteristics with them. So yeah, pretty cool stuff.. but way overpriced.

bottle, enjoy by March 2005. thick foamy light tan head that is a little creamy and bubbly at the top. clear midnight ruby body, garnet at the edges. aroma is sweet molasses, overly sweet malt, and a bit dusty. flavor is sweet licorice candy malt, with chocolate a bit like hershey’s syrup. finish is watery, and some tangy dry grassiness. aftertaste a little astringent. light carbonation. Scharffen Berger is actually very high quality chocolate from SF, but this didn’t do it for me. thanks Steph for this one!

(75 cl bottle from Swedish Systembolaget) Black color with a tan head. Dominant chocolate scent. Chocolate taste, chocolate and sweet after taste. Normal mouth feel, low bitterness. It’s not un-pleasant, but it’s not beer either.
