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.

Chocolate. All chocolate. Nothing but chocolate. If you like chocolate, this is for you. There is not much else going on.

Bottle. Good chocolate taste! If you want to try a chocolate beer, try this one. Quite sweet and some bread. Low carbonation.

Chocolate in aroma, chocolate in taste. Not surprising for a chocolate beer. Clear mahogany body with light brown head. Sweet nose of chocolate and vanilla. Taste, too. Palate is liking drinking a chololate drink where the chocolate isn’t quite dissolved. This is not a complex beer because there is not a lot else here, but it is enjoyable as a sweet beer.

Year old bottle - this has held up extremely well for a low ABV beer. The nose really reminds me of cocoa powder with those little marshmellows. The body is sweeter, with notes of vanilla and fudge. Pretty one dimensional, but a fun beer none-the-less. I’m just glad I got in the discount rack for $6.

I was surprised how much i liked it. Pours black with a tan head. Has a chocolatey aroma. Very good chocolate malt flavor.

Bottle at RBESG 2006. Hands down the best realisation of chocolatiness in a beer that I’ve tried so far. Really tastes like the chocolate is part of the beer, rather than a flavouring. Great stuff.

Bottle. Deep brown. Smells like chocolate. tastes like chocolate. Mouthfeel is sweet and lightly sticky. I quite like the chocolate flavour, but there seems to be nothing else that really compliments it or that makes it interesting, so it ends up being a little bit one dimensional. Not bad, but not really exciting or anything.
