Double Choclate Bock
The color of this beer is deep translucent brown. The light tan head is fizzy and comes and goes very quickly. It's very deep in color for a bock, but I am guessing that is due to the chocolate aspect.
Speaking of chocolate, wow, you can really smell it. It's almost like opening up a candy bar. There is also a milky sweetness, mix in with a subtle maltiness. If you are a lover of all things chocolate, this beer's smell is for you. It is so good, I kind of want a chocolate bar right now!
The prickly, but light carbonation leads way to a beer that is like drinking a cold hot chocolate, but in a good way. Upfront there is a milky sweetness that then leads you to the main body of the beer CHOCOLATE! There is a slight dryness on the backend that helps balance out the sweet, chocolate goodness of this beer. It's smooth, refreshing, dessert in a glass. Mix this with vanilla ice cream and you have the makings of an amazing beer float.
All and all, I love this beer. If you look online, you will see some pretty nasty things written about it. Let me make it simple for you... if you want to taste a beer that has chocolate for miles, you want something different that is straight forward, and not complex, this is the beer for you. I found it delicious, and I wish I had more than one! I give it a 4.25 out of 5!!!
