tap (jan 6, 2012) - Pours very dark amber with a small head. The aroma is really dominated by the cherries. It tastes sweet with cherries at the forefront then the chocolate. The sweetness carries into the finish. This medium bodied brew is like drinking a chocolate covered cherry. It’s sweet but not cloying. Good.

On draft at 5 points in Athens. Very Nice dark clear brown pour with not much ring of head. Nice tart cherry and light cocoa roast. Not sweet as much as I thought it would be, but in a good way. Not fake or syrup. I’d drink this again

Draft. Pours a dark reddish brown color with medium light brown head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Aroma was complex sweet cherry and chocolate. Medium to full syrupy sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish. Soft sweet brew.

Dull dark brown. Has a light aroma of hollow malts. Sour cherry character and vaguely chocolatey malts. Bleh...way off what I would want in a beer like this. Not much balance.

Draft at abraxas. Happy hour. Dark brown, scant head. Aroma has a tangy tartness and no depth. The flavors are fruit tart, like a pop tart filling, and it almost tastes like a brown ale gone sour and the mistake is covered up for my calling it cherry. As it warms some mild nestle qwik type cocoa powder comes out.But anyway, it’s drinkable... ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

12/1/11 sam adams cherry choco bock on tap @ pap. over heard, "it tastes like christmas!". Porter color w red tints, ow tannish head. Clear. A is choco covered cherries!... a little musty and caramel. F=same but too weak and too sweet...very unchristmas, jerk. 7/4/6/3/13

Reddish brown pour, tan head. Aroma is a chocolate covered cherry and malty notes. Flavor is sweet, cherries, a bit too sweet but not horrible.

Tap at Flying Saucer, Sugar Land.
Pours a deep mahogany with amber highlights. Nose is cherry and chocolate, as advertised. Things go slightly south from here. There is cherry and chocolate in every sip but it’s too weak and too sweet. Average mouthfeel. Needs more assertiveness and less sweetness in the flavor.

Great looking beer but doesn’t have much a a palate which is disappointing. U get much more cherry flavor than chocolate. Still smooth to drink and not as heavy as u would think.

very smooth, very flavorful. Poured very dark with almost no head. The chocolate was more prominate then the cherry but it still had a really nice balance. Try this one!!!
