Beers an Beards with Matt: Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock

On the Seventh Beer of Chanukah my true love gave to me....some Sam Adam Chocolate Bock.

This particular beer I was unable to find by itself so I picked up the Samuel Adams Holiday Pack which contains a variety of six beers, with 12 beers in the pack, so you guys can do the math of course.

For me Chocolate Beers can really be hit or miss, some are far too sweet and some are far too bitter. I think this is the perfect combination and the brewing techniques are exactly what this beer calls for as it is a bock, as opposed to an ale or even a stout.

Sit back, light some candles, and enjoy the show.

@potcon Yeah, I don't really make a big deal out of it, because its really nothing big, and I'm not a huge practioner of the religion. Born a Jew, but thats about it.....

this use to only come in a special 22 once bottle. i was gonna review it this year, but this year its ony in the variety mix pack. im hoping they still release it in the special bottle, so i can avoid buying a 12 pack of crap to get 2 beers... i can say i do like this one, but the rest i would disagree with you for once. i think there all crap.

im disapointed. i look forward to the lighting of the manora.

@jjrudy41 The Bock was really good, and I was really surprised how malty and chocolately it was.

The Old Fezziwig I thought was interesting because it was such a light winter beer, and I'm a sucker for cinnamon.

I thought that beer was pretty good, Cheers

@TheHammer609 It just had a good balance to it, and wasn't too sweet, but just right. It had a brownie Coco Puff cereal quality to it. Thanks bro

so I think you should make a video compilation of all your burps from every beer review you've done. show the beer and then play your burp. I think it'd be a strange, but interesting, video.

@MtStewart old fezzy suck is what i cal it hahaha

@Imasofat This is probably one of the best chocolate beers that I've had in a while, and it gave me a real sense of chocolate, and it wasn't too bitter or too sweet, and really good balance. The holiday pack has some good stuff in it, I'd check it out Gary.

They usually sell this one in the bomber size. We reviewed it about two years ago and really enjoyed it. I think I'll pick up this winter pack! Cheers!
