Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock
This beer pours a nice dark color. I found the head to be a little thin, and didn't hold for very long. In fact, the carbonation as a whole was on the low side, and lost what it had fairly quickly. It smelled very good. Not strong on the hops, and the chocolate was not overwhelming to the nose. Despite the dark color and bock style, it was somewhat light on the tongue. But that is where you really got the chocolate: as an aftertaste at the end of a mouthful. It was somewhat velvetty in that respect, but the feeling (and taste) didn't last long. At $16 a bottle, this should have been a much more impressive beer. Its shortcomings make it not worth the price.
