Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock is a very nice beer. The color is a deep brown with a thin mocha head. The aroma is full of chocolate and sweet malts. Unlike many Chocolate stouts that are syrupy and hard to enjoy, this beer is perfectly infused with chocolate flavor leaving the finish sweet and enjoyable, but sugary and overpowering. I enjoyed this more than I had expected.

Was lucky enough to get a sample of this at a tasting...lucky because I got to try it, not because it is great. Aroma is quite chocolatey.....with some notes caramel and malt. Flavor is similar....with a finish that is sweet and has a hint of vanilla?. Overall, I found this beer to be not worth the price or hype.

Nearly black with ruby highlights. Thick brown head that leaves nice lacing. Wonderful aroma of chocolate, caramel, and cream. Smooth palate with moderate-high carbonation. If the aroma is wonderful, the flavor is spectacular. Dark fruit, chocolate, caramel, and a hint of vanilla. Rich, smooth, and absolutely delicious.

Pours dark brown. Nice roasted malt nose. Tastes of some malt, a little chocolate. Weak and watery finish. Overall, disappointing.

Pours dark brown with very nice thick head. Aroma - roasted malt, caramel, & chocolate. Taste - Roasted malt, medium/light chocolate taste, slightly sweet caramel. Mouthfeel - Slight graininess, creamy. Overall - A good beer though a bit expensive ($12.99), guess it has to do with the really cool bottle it comes in.

750ml bomber. Pours a very dark brown (almost black under my current breakfast area chandelier) with ruby and amber/orange highlights. The head pours very thick and tan in color, but it is quite short-lived - though never dissipating completely but instead fading quickly into haphazard, thin patches floating on the surface. The aroma is vinous and malty with notes of dark malts, caramel, dark fruit, and a light earthiness - not much chocolate in the nose. The flavor, on the hand, is satisfying with chocolate. It starts with a slight graininess and thick, chewy caramel malt wave. There are touches of dark fruit towards mid-palate and a big, subtle-at-first, distinct layer of cocoa. The finish has a distinct semi-sweet chocolate character to it. It finishes full with some malt sweetness, some caramel, a subtle earthiness, and a very light dark fruit character. The mouthfeel is well carbonated, adding a light touch of spritziness to an otherwise full-bodied texture. Overall, a very drinkable and flavorful beer. I’m quite happy with this brew, but it was a bit over-priced.
