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.

This is amazing!! i’ve had a wide range of chocolate beers but none as delicate as this one. strong cocoa flavor while still being subtle. how the hell did they do that? one of my favorite beers...i try to get it every holiday season. update 12/26/08-had another one for the first time in a while. BEST FINISH EVER!! Smooth as silk, I can’t think of how to improve it. I’d give the aftertaste an 11/10 if I could. If I have another that good, i’ll give it a 5!...screw it. it couldn’t be better. my second "5"."

The sweet aroma and flavour are intoxicating. The chocolate is evident and welcome. Smooth and very very drinkable.

Once opened you get an instant aroma of chocolate and dark coffee. Dark brown appearance with a light brown head. Rich coffee flavor with a hint of chocolate. Palate is syrupy with a heavy finish. Overall enjoyable but a little pricey.

A nice hearty aroma of roasted chocolate introduces this beer. It is black in color, like low-sulfur coal, and has a good thick almond colored head. This beer is thick and sweet and rolls over the tongue with the smooth taste of malt mixed with chocolate.

2004 bottle. Aroma is malty chocolate and dark dried fruits. Large tan head that mostly lasted and left little lace. Dark black/red/brown hue. Flavor is sweet and big coco chocolate that finishes short. Palate is watery and lively. Just a fantastic brew, smooth and chocolaty. Has aged extremely well and would highly recommend.

A wonderful beer. It pours lovely with just a touch of coccoa-colored head. Immediate chocolate and malt flavors, which fade to a nice chocolate finish. A very nice beer, it is a little expensive but it is worth it
