Samuel Adams Double Bock

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8

Poured clear deep copper to amber in color with lasting thin tan head. The aroma is sweet sweet malts with hints of dark fruit, caramel and alcohol. Spot on for the style and gravity. The taste has a thick mouth feel that goes well with the dark fruitiness of dates and plums. I also get flavors of sweet malts, caramel malts and a hint of roasted malts. Very nice. Ends fairly neutral. One of the better Sam Adams brews I’ve tried.

OK! A double! SA has a double! Bock that is. No matter how many times a person thinks he has drank every SA, he has mistaken! This is a pretty high class 12 oz brown bottle with Sam Addams molded into the glass. Has a yeasty aroma once I pop the top. Color is like a root beer or dark cream soda. In the mug it has a hint like strong ale. There is no head on this and I can’t even remember what color the initial fizz was. Strong overwhelming alcohol kick on the flavor blast. Its mowing over the girlie taste buds on my tongue. Swishing the brew around I get an alabaster coating of foam. The liquid seems to have some viscosity to it. I find it interesting this has about average tingly carbonation on the back of the tongue. Most brews that taste this strong have hardly, if any, carbonation. Taste is pretty offensive, almost like barley wine. Flavor is bitter like lingering medicine and that is exactly how the finish is. I can see why this is highly rated on this web site. Stronger with more abrasive personality compared to other doppels I’ve had.

Mahogany with red highlights. Creamy tan head that lingers in a thin coating with a heavier ring hanging around the inside edge of my tasting glass. Malty, bready slightly sour nose. Alcohol is in the nose also. Med/full body. Grainy, sweet malt flavors.Alcohol evident in the medium sweet finish. Not to bad for sammy.

Pours out a nice dark copper color with a nice white head. The aroma is pretty plain and light. The mouthfeel is thick and rich. The flavor is malt, malt and did I mention malt ? This is a really fine bock.

pours a golden dark brown with a red hue, moderate carbonation with about medium sized head that dissipated quickly, very light lacing. The aroma is slightly sweet with no real hoppy bite, mostly a very clean smell. The taste is hops which comes through way more than I expected. Slight caramel notes. The mouth feel is moderate body and goes down with weird after taste.

An excellent example of the venerable German style. Clear pour, ruby in colour with a thin off-white head. Aroma is roasted malt, fruit, and spices, almost a seasonal dopplebock. Flavour is slightly sweet to start, but finishes with a bitter kick.

It pours a dark amber & burnt-orange with a thick white-orange head and fairly copious lace. An aroma of caramelized barley malts, faint hops, citrus, and light spices. The mouthfeel is pretty thin. Flavors of caramel malts, hops, orange, light raisin, bread and yeast, alcohol, and spices. It's flavorful, although watery.

Very nice caramel and sweet malts in the aroma. Some chocolate and toffee as well. Nice pour with a dark tan with hints of ruby red. A nice thick head with plenty of lacing sits atop this very nice bock. Good mouthfeel with a sweet malty flavor. Some hints of coffee, chocolate, dark fruit, caramel, toffee.... there is a lot going on. A very slight bite of alcohol, but finishs smooth.

Just want to start off by saying Bocks are usually not my favorite kind of beer, but I wanted to try this one. Dark brown pour with malts and caramel hitting the nose. Beer tasted ok, my friend who loves Bocks did really enjoy this. I am trying to get a taste for this type of beer.

From the Sammy A Imperial Series. Double Bock starts out with a 1/2 inch light tan conglomeration of suds sitting on top of a mahogany liquid that appears to be somewhat hazy. Aromas reflect dry hops and spice. On the buds, you'll first notice a low key sweetness with a dry cloying finish. Flavors include a bold hop character, honey, light brown sugar, coriander, alcohol, whiskey and dishwater. Hate to say it, but S.A. Double Bock was not as sweet as I had expected. Didn't care for it too much, as the I felt it was a bit soapy, mouthfeel/flavor wise. Even with all of that going on.
