Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock

Brewed by Boston Beer Company
Style: Dunkler Bock
Boston, Massachusetts USA

Pours dark black with a thick tan head. Aroma is coccoa with a hint of floral hops. Body is too thin, flavor is lots of coccoa with just a hint of hops on the finish. Very one dimensional, but the chocolate is tasty. Was a nice treat as a dessert after barbequeing, but I wouldn’t bother spending another $15 on this.

Bottled. Dark brown colour, poor head. Loads of milky chocolate in aroma, not much else was sensed. Sweet malty, light caramelly flavour with loads of pure milk chocolate. No depth here, just choco. What’s this with innovation? Adding chocolate to a porter? Come back when raspberry is added. That is what I call innovative.

WOW very rich and complex. Dark appearance, mildly foamy head. Chocolate flavor is just right,but you can’t drink too much of it b/c then it tastes like syrup - ! - overall, very nice....

Reddish brown ale with a thin off white head. Sweet raisins in aroma, with chocolate Quick, and vinous notes, veering on the barley wine. Nice chocolate moka taste, like a nice chocolate frappée, light hops, roasted coffee notes, malt balls, and medium bodied. Quite nice. Bought in Nov. 2005.

Quite nice with a ,ot of chocolate. Rather mild, maybe with the chocolate becoming too dominant in the flavor.

Hey, who pured coco in my beer? This is good stuff. Very chocolatey without being too sweet. Super smooth, I could have this for dessert every night.

Aroma: Strong chocolate with berry undertones Appearance: Deep opaque not quite black with a beautiful dark red shine which was especially visible on the outside edge of the fluid. Head was extremely disappointing though as it was light brown in color but disippated extremely quickly although significant carbonation remained Flavor: Dark chocolate malt on top with a dark berry, cherry, and vanilla undertone Palate: Earthy roasted malts Overall: This beer was very interesting as it was definitely about the chocolate. This made it very filling and hence you could sample from very cold to room temperature prior to finishing it. The dark malty flavor became stronger as it warmed and as the carbonation lessened while the berry and vanilla flavors lessened over time. The scent of this beer is unique and enjoyable. I was extremely disappointed with the head of this beer for the price yet the red at the edges was remarkable. The bottle is also very special looking with the tin front label. Not fantastic but not bad either. I enjoyed it but I would not drink more than a bottle at a time and only occassionally at best.

Bottle. Dark brown colour with a tan head. Sweet malty aroma with some hints of chocolate.Sweet malty chocolate flavor. Sweet chocolate in the aftertaste.
