Sam Adams Imperial Double Bock
ABV: 9.5%
Style: Double Bock
Origin: Boston, MA
Intense and warming, a meal in a bottle. One cannot help but appreciate Samuel Adams Double Bock's huge malt character. Brewers 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 mouth feel of the two-row malt. Samuel Adams Double Bock's intense malt character is balanced with a subtle piney, citrus hop note from the Noble hops.
