Sam Adams Chocolate Bock

[brewpunk]

So I had a bottle of Sam Adams Chocolate Bock, and enjoyed it. At the bottom it says "Ale with Cocoa and Natural Flavor". Is this a misprint, a marketing fuck up, or is there a bock ale yeast?

I'd guess that it was a label mess up or misprint, as the website doesn't call it an ale, and says it's brewed with their lager yeast. Didn't realize that the nibs in the chocolate bock were from TCHO, who were on an episode of the Session.

Alot of companys that make lagers call them ales in Texas for some legal reason... Other than that idk

It could be that they fermented at ale temperatures
