Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock
Pours dark brown, dark red highlights when held up to the light. Nice puffy beige head rests at about half a finger eventually leaving nice lacing. Cocoa in the smell, some caramel. Pleasant enough but not much else to it. The chocolate/cocoa comes through pretty solid in the taste. Definitely caramel and nutty malts. Has a finish of bread and roasted malt. Pretty sweet but not overly so. Just a tiny bit of booze. It doesn't really have that huge malty character I would expect from a bock, other than that the mouthfeel is fine. I definitely agree with Jason's review saying this could easily be mistaken for a porter. I don't get much of a bock presence but that being said I did like it, chocolate comes through nicely without overpowering.
