Samuel Adams Double Bock

#10 in my Advent Beer Calendar happens to be a perfect 10 in my book. Dopplebocks are my favorite style and this does not disappoint. I can't help but compare it to German dopplebocks, although I don't know if the guys at Boston intended this product to compete in that direction.  Where the Germans have many different notes of flavors, like chocolate and dark fruits,  this is perhaps a little simpler with a predominate flavor of caramel syrup followed by a strong kicker of alcohol warmth. It pairs nicely with a snugly on a cold blowing December night.
