Samuel Adams started with hand selected Noble hops from Bavaria and combined them with a complex selection of carefully roasted malts. This dark beer has a big, malty character with the added sweetness of chocolate. The flavor of the chocolate is developed by aging the beer on a bed of rare dark cocoa nibs. The cocoa nibs, a primary ingredient in chocolate, impart an aroma and flavor of fine chocolate to the beer. As the beer matures, the flavors are released into the liquid to give the brew a complex, full bodied taste and velvety finish. A hint of vanilla is added to meld the combination of flavors together. Known for their quality, these cocoa nibs harvested in Ecuador, impart complex aromas and flavors from chocolaty to fruity, nutty, earthy, and citrusy.
