Description: 

This special release is brewed just for the holidays. For a new approach to a classic favorite, we added cherries to our traditional Chocolate Bock for a sweet, slightly tart note. Aged on a bed of dark cocoa nibs, the malty, chocolaty, and dark fruit flavors create a rich, complex beer perfect for winter. (Description provided by company)

Sam Adams CCB pours out a very deep, dark brown - almost coffee like, with a creamy (very) slightly tan head. This beer lives up to its name - it basically both smells and taste a lot like cherries and chocolate. When drinking, the cherry flavor is at the front, with the chocolate a little more subtle and more toward the end. The aftertaste is not quite as strong or off-putting as I expected, but there was a subtle burnt-like flavor that was not very pleasant.
