Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock
Color is a dark, almost black redish-brown. Head on top is light cocoa froth brown. Aroma is simple. Sweet caramelly malt, faint coffee, milk chocolate, floral notes, and some diacetyl or possibly even white chocolate. Taste is sweet, aaalmost cloying. I usually find dark chocolate works best with beer, and this brew is certainly pointed in the milk chocolate direction. There's also a mysterious bright tart flavor in the mesh. It somehow makes me think lemon rind. Odd... Mouthfeel ain't bad. A little chewy with malty chocolate, mainly slick, with an ever so slight touch of grit. Overall this beer is okay. Its a little too in your face chocolate, in not the best of ways. Nothing really objectionable going on, yet nothing very exciting.
