Samuel Adams Double Bock

Pours a nice dark amber/brown color with an off white head. Aroma is really sweet and strong, some maple maybe, malts and alcohol. Flavor is loaded with alcohol, overwhelming the rest of the qualitites of the beer. Very thick and Cloying.

Little too heavy and almost had a syrup thickness. Good color, good head, lots of alcohol. It was quite good but not an everyday beer.

starts out great, but sam adams has a LONG way to go to catch up with doppelbock’s shneider aventinus, , this is like drinking maple syrup, its too darn heavy, i once drank 10 kubuli’s but i can barely drink one of these, great sweet flavor though, its one of those beers you can share with friends because 1 bottle is way too much for one person

Appearance: Pours a clear, dark mahogany-hued body with a thin cap of white bubbles. Smell: Toasty caramel nose with a rich, vinous vein of fruitiness and a slight solventy tone. Taste: Very sweet, very strong taste of toasted dark caramel with a distinct plum and golden raisin fruitiness throughout and a hint of sweetened dough. Tiny bit of spicy hops and imparted bitterness, but for the most part, this one’s all sweetness. Luscious, syrupy finish with a pinch from the warming alcohol. Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium-low carbonation. Definite stickiness to the mouthfeel. Drinkability: A slow sipper suited for ice-cold winter nights, it’s a rather well-made, respectable doppelbock that can easily be found for a good price.

Bottle. Dark reddish brown pour with an average head. Sweet brown sugar and caramel makes this brew a nice desert. Malty bitter finish leaves you wanting more.
