Access Parent Record from child SOQL - APEX

Question

This question seems silly but i am really stuck! I want to get the Account name and Account Rating for my contacts via Apex code, but instead of Account name and rating, it returns the accountId! I run the code in anonymous Console. Any ideas of what i am doing wrong?

List<sObject> contacts = [select id, name, AccountId, Account.Name, Account.Rating from Contact];
system.debug(contacts); 

But in the list returned as you can see, Account Name and Rating are not displayed.

This is just how the Developer console shows the details. It does not show any parent details but you are actually getting those details.

List<Contact> contacts = [select id, name, AccountId, Account.Name, Account.Rating from Contact];
system.debug(contacts); 

for (Contact individualContact: contacts){
    System.debug(individualContact.Account.Name); // Should get the value here
}
