This dark beer has a big, malty character with the added sweetness of chocolate. Chocolate Bock is slowly aged on a bed of rare dark cocoa nibs, the primary ingredient in chocolate. Known for their quality, these cocoa nibs harvested in Ecuador, impart complex aromas and flavors from chocolaty to fruity, nutty, earthy, and citrusy.

12 ounce bottle. Transluscent dark brown color. small creamy tan head. Nice roasted malt aroma. Sweet cocoa and roasted malt palate. Notes of toasted hazelnuts, vanilla and cardamom appear as well. Chocolate flavor is moderate, not overstated.

This review was imported from my RateBeer ratings.
12 oz. bottle. Pours a deep, dark, amber-brown. Head is minimal and light-tan in color. Aroma of chocolate. The flavor is medium-sweet and tastes of chocolate with undertones of cola. Full-bodied, with a creamy texture and a long, smooth finish. Carbonation is average.
This is definitely a "value" beer that I will be regularly stocking in my fridge.

12oz Bottle. Pours clear beautiful deep ruby black with a large tan head that mostly dissipates and leaves decent lacing. Aroma is caramel, grain, hay, a bi of barnyard, chocolate. Flavor is much more chocolate forward with notes of vanilla, but it presents as low quality chocolate. Medium sweet, no real bitterness. Medium bodied, a bit creamy.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dagan’s place. Thanks Oren. Brown-colored with a bit of beige foam. Aroma of lots of chocolate and cocoa. Sweet chocolate flavor with malt and some nutty notes. Medium-bodied. A bit too sweet, but OK.

I’ve had from fancy bottle a few years back but this rate comes from a standard 12oz bottle my buddy had in fridge. Nose of delicious cocoa. tastes just like sucking on tootsie roll. You also get vanilla, earth, light hops bitterness, and some spruce. Chalky and creamy texture. very much enjoyed

Very dark but with ruby highlights. Aroma is malty, chocolate, and noticeable vanilla. Medium bodied. Flavor has sweet malts, a hint of toast, chocolate, and vanilla. Very smooth. Like most SA beers, it tastes like a Sam Adams. However, it really works in this application. The chocolate and malts play well with their brewing style that creates the Sam Adams taste and feel. Good stuff. Glad they added it to the variety pack.

bottle pours dark brown with a medium tan head that fades quickly. Aroma is light cocoa, metallic notes and thin roast. Flavor is unreal, loads of bitter and semi sweet chocolate come together with kiln coffee malts and
