Sam Adam's Chocolate Bock
I got the Sam Adams Winter Classics Variety Pack for Christmas. Since I've been moving, I haven't had a lot of chance to dive into those beers. I did finally start trying out some of the beers in there, and here is my short review of Sam Adam's Chocolate Bock.
I was really excited about this beer before I tried it. Bock's are probably my favorite type of beer, and I drink a fair amount of Shiner Bock and Amber Bock. Being somewhat of a heavy fellow, I can also say that I enjoy my share of chocolate, so this beer seemed like an interesting combination.
I can't say I really enjoyed the beer however. What I was expecting was a bock with a slight hint of chocolate taste. Instead, this beer had a very strong cocoa taste to it. It didn't really taste like beer at all. It was more like drinking liquid semi-sweet chocolate. It was a very bitter and strong taste. If semi-sweet chocolate is your thing, this beer is for you. Otherwise, I'd probably stick with a normal bock.
