Samuel Adams Triple Bock
Looks darker than chocolate syrup with no head. I noticed thick legs running down the side of my glass. It looked interesting and I was very excited to start imbibing. It smells of chocolate, cognac, and raisins. The alcohol was evident which is what is to be expected from the appearance. It did not smell like beer, but it did smell interesting. It tastes of rich cherry and chocolate. It was way too sour for my taste as the cherry turned to a sour raisin residue in my mouth which was tough to get off my tastbuds with copious amounts of water. I will not soon forget that taste, even though I will try. The mouthfeel was dullingly thick and I remember trying to scrape the residue out my mouth with my fingernails. A thimble full of it might be great for dessert. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it. I did not enjoy this one at all and I don't think I will be purchasing anything like this in the future.
