Samuel Adams Triple Bock
Served refrigerator cold , poured whole bottle in an Orval chalice.Very dark , no head. I can see legs running like a wine. theirs a slight separation of the solids, or possibly the alcohol separating from the beer? Never seen that before in a beer. I can smell the alcohol above anything else. Some plum/cherry/fruity smells come through , about a foot away from my nose. Taste is sweet , very little hop bite. Comes across like diluted hard liquor, or a fortified wine. Tastes like raisins, plums , cherries , with a little soy sauce thrown in. Drinking the whole bottle was somewhat tough. I noticed a good amount of sediment on my last swallow (dark , kinda like whats left over on a French press). I can't say I won't be drinking this one again, as I got another in the cellar. I'll drink it in another 10 years or so. Overall the freakiest beer I've ever tried.
