Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock
Boston, MA
5.6% ABV
Appearance: Mostly black body, slightly red-orange-tinged towards the bottom, with a thick brown head that dissipates over time but leaves some significant lacing. 4.0/5
Smell: Very nutty, chocolatey, malty. Slight astringency and very dry. 3.5/5
Taste: Interesting. Dry malty roastiness up-front, with a syrupy chocolate texture on the back. Aftertaste strongly of chocolate. Almost doesn't quite taste like beer, it's so sweet and syrupy, but it's very interesting. 4.0/5
Mouthfeel: Very thick, as above, syrupy. Low carbonation. 4.0/5
Drinkability: Well, this isn't worth eighteen dollars. I wish it was a little higher alcohol and had a bit more balance. But it's fascinating the things that Sam Adams will try, and it's amazing that they even got something drinkable out of this kind of mix. 3.5/5
Overall: 3.85/5
