A deep black with a medium lasting tan head on the pour. Aroma is of sweet milk chocolate and caramel malt. Taste is of dark caramel malts, and sweet milk chocolate flavor. A medium body and slightly creamy mouth feel on the palate with light carbonation. Finishes with a sweet dark malt and chocolate flavor with light bitterness. Overall a tasty and delightful after dinner drink.

I took one sip of this and I was blown away. It's a perfect marriage of flavors - the richness of the doppelbock and and the semi-sweetness of chocolate. While some Samuel Adams offerings have a bit more novelty, this one has more substance. They show respect to the style while adding some new takes on it.

A - Dark brown with mahogany hues. 1 finger of a light tan.
S - Vanilla, anise, hints of chocolate. Not much going on here.
T - Chocolate syrup, crystal malt, roasted wood malt, vanilla. It’s sweet but not cloying. Almost has a cola flavor.
M - Moderate carbonation, slick, a tad thin.
This was better than I expected. The chocolate didn’t overpower and it didn’t go over the edge on the sweetness.

From a bottle. Pours opaque deep brown. Tastes like chocolate and malt. Slightly sweet. Very easy to drink. Smooth with medium body and low carbonation. Smells like chocolate and syrup.

Found this one in the back of my friend fridge to try out. Chocolate notes with the bock backbone is a success.
