Beer Notes: Sam Adams Double Bock

The Samuel Adams Double Bock is from the company's Imperial Series. This was only my second excursion into bock style beers, Yuengling's Bock being my first. I first noticed the intense flavor if the beer as it had twice the bock-ness of a regular bock. Sam Adams describes the beer as being very smooth, but to me, it had somewhat of a bite.

The Double Bock is a good beer, no doubt. But this is certainly not a beer that I would seek out in the hot summer days spent outside. This is a sophisticated indoors type beer that demands to be sipped and savored, quite like Sam Adams Imperial Stout, which I will review soon.
