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.

12oz bottle from a holiday pack. Pours out a dark brown topped with a cream tan head. Aroma is nice lots of sweet milk chocolate and rich malts. Taste more of the sweet chcoclate and caramel.

I enjoyed this as part of a 12 pack sampler while my band was recording. Appearance pure black without much head. Aroma chocolate and cocoa. Taste very rich, huge chocolate notes, nice smooth finish, definite dessert beer, very good.

Pour is a black with a small tan head. Aroma is faint chocolate with some roasted malt. Flavor more than makes up for this with a huge chocolate. Finish leaves a sweet vanilla on the tounge. This was a really tasty beer and I’m glad this is now in 12 oz bottles in the Sam Adams winter pack.

750 ml bottle into dimpled mug. Aroma is similar to an English porter--sweet, notes of bread. Pours a deep brown--almost black--with reddish tints when held up to the light. Has a medium head with awesome retention and nice creamy lace. Taste is sweet with no bitterness. Almost like carbonated chocolate milk. Creamy texture and medium carbonation. Delicious. Great dessert beer.

Big thanks to my SecretSanta wavers1 for that beer! The bottle looks great and interesting, the beer in the glass dark, almost black, small head. Starts malty and dry, not too much. Rusty-fruity and metallically notes follow, very well balanced, also hints of caramel. Finish finally shows nice chocolate notes that last long. Very drinkable and good beer!

Bottle: Poured a deep dark chocolate bar brown with a light brown head. The aroma is chocolate, dark fruits, and malt. Taste has a raisin or plum front that gently subsides into dark chocolate bakers chocolate. Finishes with a warm sweet malty characteristic.

(Bottle) Very dark brown colour with ruby hints when seen through light. Creamy, beige head. Malty nose with notes of chocolate, cocoa, dark rye bread, dark fruit and roasted grain. Malty taste with dark bread, dark fruit, chocolate and cocoa. A bit roasted. Starts dry, but turns sweeter towards the finish. Fairly low bitterness. Medium body, slightly spritzy mouthfeel. Well balanced and tasty beer. Nice.

Bottle (and a very fancy-looking one, I might add). Pours like cola... fizz is audible and forms a quickly fading head. Aromas are of cola, chocolate and are a little vinous. Flavor is decent enough. It has a nice mix of dark fruit up front that yields to a bit of chocolate. In spite of the fact that this is fruit and chocolate, its mouthfeel is still pretty thin and the flavors are not syrupy. I’m not sure what I was expecting to find here, but this is much less chocolaty than I would have guessed. There is a bit of ephemeral tartness that comes and goes, but it keeps things interesting. I’m glad that this was on the sale shelf and I didn’t shell out big bucks for it.
