Dec 26, 2008 Sam Adams Chocolate boch is difficult to find. It pours a dark brownish color. It of course tastes of chocolate. It is more of a natural coco flavoring not a sugery hersheys taste. No after taste and it is just quite nice. Highly recommend to any chocolate lovers.

Dec 25, 2008 A little holiday treat for me and my friends. A light brown pour, sort of a cream soda look to it. the smell is very subtle chocolate but not very sweet, lightly bitter and coffee. Flavor was much of the same with some sweet maltiness. palate was bit light but very good carbonation. which made this a good celebration beer. High marks for the fact that a very unusual method is used in this beer and a use of chocolate note in a beer that is not a stout or a porter.

Dec 25, 2008 Pours bright chocolate into a snifter. Off-white head recedes to skim surface. Chocolate malt aromas. Dry and crisp with chocolate from front to back. Nice dessert beer without an alcohol punch.

Dec 25, 2008 Wow, what a beer! Pours dark, light brown head. First sip is beer, follow through is a slight hint of chocolate. Very unique. Great dinner beer, especially on Christmas.

Dec 25, 2008 BB 04-09. Pours a dark, muddy, garnet color with a beige, average, pillowy head which has good longevity and leaves a small amount of lace. Nose is subtle with earthy chocolate cocoa, roasted almonds, and hints at raisins; nice but very faint. Flavor is better with lots of rich cocoa and earthy chocolates with other notes of molasses and hints at almonds and coffee beans. Palate is unbock-like but nice with soft to lively carbonation, medium body, and a lightly silky texture. Finishes a bit short and sweet with more almonds, rich chocolates, and hints at coffee acidity. Not much like a bock and more like a sweet stout but nicely done. Not phenomonal like the price would suggest but certainly nice to try once.

Dec 24, 2008 I have had this beer in past years. This year just didnt seem to tast as I remember it tasting. Obvious hints of chocolate, vanilla and coffe bean. Still a good beer, but I swear its been better in the past!

Dec 23, 2008 Deep brown color, almost opaque. One finger head dissipated to almost nothing, yet still left ok lacing. Strong cocoa powder aromas and roasted malts. Taste featured the same, but included ome vanilla and caramel. The chocolate on the palate seemed particularly rich, in a pleasant, not overpowering way. Creamy mouthfeel like a milk stout, low carbonation, and sweet chocolate aftertaste. And one of the best, classiest labels you can find on a bottle of beer.
