beer_name: Samuel Adams Double Bock (Imperial Series)
text: Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a pint glass. Appearance: Pours a very cloudy reddish-brown-orange, with tons of off-white frothy head. The head lasted for a long time, leaving tons of lacing Smell: Very malty, as to be expected, with notes of cinnamon and gingerbread. Some honey in there too. Almost smells like a winter warmer. Taste: Very sweet, malty, and boozy. This one tastes all of the nearly ten percent ABV it is. Tastes like gingerbread and honey, with a nice honey aftertaste. This one is all malt, but it never becomes sweet to the point of becoming cloying, which is nice. It would be a very smooth beer, except for the underlying presence of the alcohol. Mouthfeel: Very thick and creamy, almost chewy. Very nice. Drinkability: It was enjoyable, but the alcohol was too noticeable in this one. It would have been a very smooth and sweet beer, but the alcohol cut right through it. That being said, it was a good beer, and one I was impressed with from Sam Adams.
