Description:
Intense and warming, a meal in a bottle.
One can not help but appreciate Samuel Adams® Double Bock's huge malt character. We use an enormous amount of malt, half a pound per bottle, to brew this intensely rich lager. Its deep brown-ruby color is all made in the kettle - no black malt is used, resulting in a rich sweetness that is free of the rough taste of burnt malt. All that remains is the velvet smooth flavor and mouthfeel of the two row malt. Samuel Adams® Double Bock's intense malt character is balanced with a subtle piney, citrus hop note from the German Noble hops.
Due to legal restrictions, Samuel Adams® Double Bock can not be sold in the states of Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Iowa, Louisiana, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia.

Appearance - 3.5
Tan off white head that leaves a little lacing. A nice mid-brown color similar to the bottle it comes in.
Aroma - 4.0
Nice toasty malt aroma with a bit of mildly sweet nuttyness
Mouthfeel - 4.0
Bit of a thick mouthfeel with some warmth from the high alcohol content. Light amount of carbonation.
Taste - 4.0
Starts out with a mellow malty taste that warms up into a sweeter malty flavor. Ends with a slight mix of bitter-sweet.
Overall - 4.0
Very flavourful bock that would be perfect for keeping you warm in the winter. Might be a bit on the sweet side for some though.
