Apr 17, 2009 Updated: Apr 20, 2009750ml bottle (Systembolaget, Stockholm) - shared by Mirjukka - thanks!
Very deep reddy brown, small beige head. Raisiny aroma, touch of sweet chocolate too. Something savoury I can’t quite place. Pleasant carbonation, quite a
light body, not too sticky, but still quite full. Taste seems to have suffered a little from age, pleasant sweet chocolatiness, a touch lactic perhaps. Quite caramelly, but an occasionally interesting bite of hops. All in pretty good balance. Finish a touch beany and hoppy.
Not one for ageing beyond BB date (which was now).

Apr 16, 2009 750 ml bottle poured a clear dark brown with ruby highlights and a lasting amber head. Aromas of milk chocolate, carmel, vanilla, pepper, dark fruit and light roastiness. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of milk chocolate, vanilla, burnt carmel, light earthiness, light roastiness and a hint of pepper with a smooth lingering chocolate finish. Thgis beer was much better than I expected, pretty tasty but way overpriced.

Apr 12, 2009 Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock is a very nice beer. The color is a deep brown with a thin mocha head. The aroma is full of chocolate and sweet malts. Unlike many Chocolate stouts that are syrupy and hard to enjoy, this beer is perfectly infused with chocolate flavor leaving the finish sweet and enjoyable, but sugary and overpowering. I enjoyed this more than I had expected.

Apr 12, 2009 Was lucky enough to get a sample of this at a tasting...lucky because I got to try it, not because it is great. Aroma is quite chocolatey.....with some notes caramel and malt. Flavor is similar....with a finish that is sweet and has a hint of vanilla?. Overall, I found this beer to be not worth the price or hype.

Apr 11, 2009 Nearly black with ruby highlights. Thick brown head that leaves nice lacing. Wonderful aroma of chocolate, caramel, and cream. Smooth palate with moderate-high carbonation. If the aroma is wonderful, the flavor is spectacular. Dark fruit, chocolate, caramel, and a hint of vanilla. Rich, smooth, and absolutely delicious.
