Keeping you up with the buzz on these new Sam Adams small batch bombers, here’s your recap.
Future releases in the this series include Tasman Red, Third Voyage. and Griffin’s Bow. Enter The Vixen.
The Vixen is a chocolate chili bock with cinnamon.
The Vixen is smooth and rich with an enticing touch of sweetness and ends with a spicy heat. For this unique brew we used carefully roasted malts and dark cocoa nibs for a full bodied and slightly sweet flavor. To this roast and chocolaty base we added an element or warmth and spice with cinnamon and chilies. Dark and alluring, the brew will keep you captivated. Batch #1

I think chilies are the new bourbon… lol
I drank mine and throughly enjoyed it! The chocolate starts the process and finishes with the chilies. Nice warmth to this product and I would recommend drinking it at room temperture. Sam Adams has another winner!
My local bottle shop a got a ton of all four of these in. I’m interested in trying them but not really expecting much
Have any of these made it to Atlanta yet?
