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.

Dark brown with a rich head. Aroma of cocoa, vanilla and meringue. Clean mouthfeel. Sweet cocoa and vanilla flavour, too sweet. Slightly burnt finish.

Bottle. Clear dark brown, small creamy head. Clean aroma of cocoa, coffee-beans and nuts. Simplistic and clean flavour of nuts and cocoapowder. Short aftertaste of milky chocolate. Not worth the 17$...

Thick black pour. Decent head. Very chocolatey smell. Taste of thick chocolate, some raisin, and maybe a hint of vanilla sweetness. Palate started well, but finishes with a malty-caramel syrup taste that felt a little too heavy.

Pours a clearish black brown with a glint of ruby and a frothy head of slick coffee foam. Aroma of rotten raisins and dusty barn. Not real nice. Also weak. Flavor is a gentle sweet subdued aged caramel and raising, with brandied bread pudding and gentle warm anglaise sauce. Smooth and toothy, with this almost gentle velvet graininess from the chocolate that rises as a lucious viscosity. Very pleasurable consumptive. Finishes with a smack of mexican chocolate and a touch of savory sherried alcohol; all gently sticky. If one word sums this beer, it’s soft.

Been saving this one a while. Finally broke down last night and opened it. Nose of berries & chocolate initially, waffles back and forth between mocha, caramel and flowers. Pours the color of Jagermeister with ruby highlights. The smallish frothy tan head is mostly diminishing with fair lace. The ultra rich flavor has uber complexity and outstanding balance. The long satisfying finish is very rewarding. I may never eat again. I’m sure this brew could sustain me for the rest of my days. The medium body is lively and dry, could be softer IMO. Perfect for the chocolate-head.

Definite chocolate tones in both the flavor and the aroma. Found the beer very easy to drink knocking out the entire bottle in little over an hour by myself. Alcohol is not present at all. Smooth on the palate. I enjoyed it in all of it’s overpriced grandeur.

If hershey’s made beer.... It’s actually pretty tasty. I can’t help thinking i’d rate it higher if it cost half as much. Was worth doing this one time, however.

"Wow amazing beer, not sure if it was worth the price but great. Poured black with little red edges. Aroma was of serious chocolate and some vanilla. Flavor was of serious chocolate and vanilla mixed in there. Mouthfeel was medium.
