Tue, 16 Jan 2007 16:57:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author youngchinq - Any beer with the word "double" in it gets bonus points with me. I love the taste of beer more than any other alcoholic beverage, but at the typical 4.5-6% APV, it takes a tremendous, renal-tormenting amount to get me intoxicated and I like being...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ringodoggie - I recently had my first (and only, so far) Sam Adams Triple Bock.

Sat, 30 Jun 2001 05:06:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author azwolf - It's been many years since I first met this curious creation, and I still remain solidly a fan. By the time this beer came out in 1994, I had been trying microbrews (what ones there were at that time) and as many different uncommon or new imported...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pebecker - Wow. I don't know where to begin. I received a bottle of Triple Bock (1995 reserve) for Father's Day and immediately placed it in the fridge. Later, I poured it all into a glass and took a pretty good drink. I probably would have spit it out, but I...

Samuel Adams Double Bock: When is a Beer Not a Beer? When It's a Triple Bock

Fri, 27 Oct 2000 03:47:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Bruguru - Triple Bock is not your average beer. You’ll realize this when you first glance at the elegant cobalt blue bottle embossed with “Sam Adams Triple Bock” in gold print. Then you’ll see the price: $4.75 or so for an 8.75 ounce bottle. No, this is certainly...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Clay-MA - This beer isn't brewed, it's CRAFTED.

Samuel Adams Double Bock: not necessarily straight

Sun, 27 Aug 2000 01:21:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ravenworker - This is the Samuel Adams "holy grail". Sipped as an after dinner drink, or enjoyed like a port wine or even savored like a fine brandy. The bottle alone is worth the price, cobalt blue with gold lettering. Uncorking and pouring yields a liquid...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RasputinAXP - Even though, in deference to the title of this article, I am a frat boy, I am also a beer-a-holic of sorts. I will actively seek out new beers and new civilizations...to boldly go where no frat has gone before. Yes, that's right...to the...

Mon, 12 Jun 2000 15:06:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author TanithT - The sublime, amber-rich essence of well cellared beer, or soy sauce flavored molasses wrapped around a salt brick? Take your pick, but either way this is a connoisseur's brew. Not exactly beer as most people understand it, this is a beverage to sip...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author goethean - As with all of Samuel Adams's products, this beer shows an attempt at real character and taste, but then you can almost see the marketing execs telling the brewers, "No, sorry. Can't buy those expensive malts. The public won't go for...
