Name – Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock
Country – United States
Type – Bock

Appearance – Very dark brown with slightly reddish highlights to it.  Fizzy tan head that went down very quickly.

Taste – Not as chocolaty as one might imagine.  It was there but not a lot.  Very sweet malts.

I remember reading about this only having won a contest for the next brew by Sam Adams.  When I saw it in the store I just felt I had to grab it.  It wasn’t as heavy as I thought it was going to be.  It was very smooth with a nice sweet flavor.  I had the first glass by itself and then on the second glass had it with a piece of my mom’s homemade chocolate cake.  The cake helped bring out the chocolate flavors a bit.  While note as chocolaty as I would have thought I still thought it was a good brew.

Overall Grade – B
