Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock
Deep "chocolate" brown with good carbonation. Aroma has hint of flowery hops and a dose of cocoa. Some aromatic sweetness. Initial hit of flavor cola-esque. Aftertaste more like a milk chocolate candy bar. No off-flavors. The malt backbone doesn't support chocolate flavor when beer too cold, but after some warming the flavors round-out nicely and maltiness comes-to the fore. Mouthfeel similarly rounds-out as the beer warms. At first the cola taste seems almost overwhelming, but it fades quickly. Certainly worthy of the chocolate aspect of the name, but not quite as "bock-like" as I expected. More like a chocolate dunkel. It's quite drinkable and a solid beer, but way overpriced.
