Note: While this review is being posted in 2010, the tasting notes contained within were taken when the beer was fresh in late 2008.īrewery: Brooklyn Brewery | Beer: Post Road Pumpkin Ale While this would work as part of a mixed twelve-pack, this 750ml doesn't quite measure up to the over ten dollar price tag. Verdict: Unfortunately, Chocolate Bock falls a little short it's not much more than a middle-of-the-road Bock with some mild chocolate flavors mixed in. Mouthfeel: Medium-light bodied with moderate carbonation and a drying finish.ĭrinkability: Very sessionable, though you'd quickly run up quite a tab at this price. The aftertaste is roasty with a mild hint of alcohol. The milk chocolate character is more prevalent in the flavor profile but still not as prominent as I'd like. It's essentially a regular Bock with all of the usual nutty, raisiny, and malty notes. Up top, a little over a finger of tan head that burns out quickly and leaves little lacing.Īroma: Standard dark fruit and darkish malt Bock aromas with just a hint of milk chocolate. Let's crack this pretty bottle open and see if the beer inside can live up.Īppearance: A rich reddish-brown body with laser beams of red highlights.
HARPOON UFO BEER FULL
Tastes slightly sweet, full bodied with a finish of fine chocolate.Sounds good to me. Distinct aroma of chocolate, toffee and malt. Smooth, rich, and dark, with the robust flavor and creamy texture of chocolate. Here's how the brewery describes the finished project: As a final touch, a "hint" of vanilla is added to "meld the symphony of flavors together." The ingredient bill seems to reflect the premium price tag. All of that is brewed, fermented, and krausened on a bed of Felchlin cocoa nibs. Hallertau Mittelfrueh and Spalt Spalter hops provide bitterness and the house lager yeast brings it all to life. It hasn't been brewed since 2008, and the notes below were taken back then.Īs for construction, the backbone is built from Two-Row Harrington, Metcalfe, Copeland, Caramel 60, Munich 10, and Chocolate malt varieties. Sold in a handsome bottle adorned with a wrapped neck, neck tag, and metallic label, it presents well enough on the store shelf to justify its twelve dollar price. Serving Method: 750ml bottle poured into Pilsener glassĬhocolate Bock is one of the occasional rarities from Sam Adams that shows up every few years.
