3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20UPDATED: NOV 30, 2011 Bottle. The pour was a dark murky brown with a slight reddish hue and had a thick creamy tan head that was fully lasting and had excellent lacing which allowed for a full coating on the glass.
The aroma was of dark roasted malts, a very mild resin hop and an earthy yeast with a nice note of dark chocolate, some caramel and a touch of dark fruit.
It tasted sweet, smooth and rather malty with a touch of caramel and cocoa at first, and then a nice strong dark mocha flavor took hold and engulfed the taste buds with just a mild note of dark fruit and a mild bitter tinge at the end.
Mouthfeel was just on the light side of full in body and quite creamy texture with a very soft carbonation.
Overall a very nice blending of flavors, letting one have an exquisitely tasty chocolaty experience!!

Pours a translucent brown on tai with thin tan head and light lacing. Aroma is chocolate and bready malts. Taste follows, thin and bubbly on the mouth. Decent, but nothing that awesome.

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.

2.9 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.

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