Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock

The first scent is sweet chocolate and malt.  The taste of burnt sugar/caramel up front is lovely.  Complex malt and vanilla undertones add to the smooth & creamy feel of it in your mouth.  Smooth, creamy and complex all at once.  The vanilla also adds to the sweetness. But, it’s a pleasant sweetness… not overwhelming.  Rich, yet, subtle.

The complimentary blend of flavors come across with a surprising delicate nature.  Each flavor unfolds beneath the foil of malt and caramel.  This allows the layers of flavor to slowly present themself before each new one takes the place of the last.

CON:  The price is a bit hard to justify with the marketplace literally bursting with high quality options.
