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.

Bottle. Thanx to Joergen. Dark ruby colour with a small brown head. Chocolate, vanilla aroma and taste, some rye bread to. Medium body with a sweet finish.

Dark brown color; the head is not persistent. The aroma initially shows some dark chocolate, then some vanilla and tobacco; in other words: quite artificial. The mouthfeel is initially thin, with some residual sweetness, some chocolate impression, and again some tobacco. Enjoyable, but somehow… odd.

Bomber, enjoy before May 2006. Pours black with red highlights and an average sized tan head. Light lacing. Sweet malts, cherry, and cotton candy in the aroma. Big milk chocolate flavor that had a slight roastly background. Full body and creamy. Great desert beer.

I really wanted to like this, but chocolate flavors just dont lend themselve to this beer like they should. There’s a lot of fruity munich hop background in this beer that i dont think agrees with the chocolate flavor. You can taste some vanilla in there too which makes it a little more confusing. It ends up tasting overpowering and sweet.

Dark ruby-red with a small light tan head. Bittersweet chocolate, almondy vanilla, and sweet caramel in the aroma. Ovaltine and vanilla flavors dominate. Residual cocoa and sweetness overpower the finish with some caramel emerging in the vestiges. Mouthfeel is somewhat chalky, otherwise smooth.

Dark brown with a rich head. Aroma of cocoa, vanilla and meringue. Clean mouthfeel. Sweet cocoa and vanilla flavour, too sweet. Slightly burnt finish.

Bottle. Clear dark brown, small creamy head. Clean aroma of cocoa, coffee-beans and nuts. Simplistic and clean flavour of nuts and cocoapowder. Short aftertaste of milky chocolate. Not worth the 17$...
