I thought they only made this once a year, and it was hard to find (ie sells out fast). Or maybe I'm confusing it with another double bock. $9.99/4 pack...9.3% alc.

you're a beer con-a-sewer....any opinion on the Sam Adam's dbl bock? IIR, they were talking about it a couple years ago on the radio, and said it goes FAST. When I went to look for it back then it was gone. Bockfest is just ending (or beginning?) around here so there are other available bock beers. However, the Sam Adams is seasonal, while others can be had year-round. It's kinda like chasing down a LE Tatuaje. :-"

On a related note, a group of guys in the neighborhood (and some not) are forming a brewing "company." It's more of a hobby (and reason to drink) for most, but legal documents have been drafted, www domain names have been secured, brewing schedules and rotation have been penciled in, and supplies have been put into the budget, etc. A buddy down the street has a detached garage with a room underneath (aka the cave) where the brewing will take place. He tried putting something like this together a few years ago, but participation was lacking. Apparently, he and a few others are making another go-round with it, and there appears to be enough participation to justify getting it going (again). 🖐

They haven't left the "homebrew" touch out and I don't expect them to.

I HIGHLY encourage you to grab any and all Sam Adams 4 packs. The only offering I passed on of theirs was the Utopia line...just over the top marketing. I REALLY like the Imperial White but if you see them in your store...snap them up!

and I'm a beer common sewer!

@ $10/4 pack, I'd rather not waste my money on something that's going to sit in my fridge for 6 months. I just wanted to get some reviews from anyone that's had it before....I'm not a beer conasore. LOL I suppose since it disappears from the shelves so quick, that should be a sign of its popularity. 🤔

:-({|= Jeez Dave, ya cheap bastid, you don't have any friends that drop by that you could foist a beer you don't like on? How about a dog rocket to go with that double bock?

2.50$ aint bad for a good brew.

wow...maybe out of all the big commercial American breweries you MIGHT get away with saying that.....in Massachusetts.

But seriously, SA isn't ****e exactly and some of their stuff isn't bad at all - the Cream Stout comes to mind as being drinkable. The Double Bock is kind of more dough than it's worth though. Heavy, strong and intense. Not that that's a bad thing but I don't usually want too much of that kind of thing and when I want it at all I'll turn to a decent micro over a "craft" company like Sam Adams any day. I just finished a six of Sierra Nevada Glissade which is a regular bock and it was not too bad at all, especially at $7.99/six. Then again, I'm kind of partial to most Sierra Nevada brews.

Now, how about some Samual L. Jackson beer? IT'LL GETCHA DRUNK! =d>

It's been a while since I have had it, but is Fezziwig Sam Adams or Samuel Smith? I really don't remember.

I like SA Double Bock, find it more malty. Used to come in a six pack but has been changed to the more profitable 4 pack. Similar brew but from Vermont, is Longtrail Double Bag.

Both are best when poured down the middle of the glass than out of the bottle.

Hoyo, I had the Glissade and thought it was kinda nasty. First Sierra I didn't care for.

I like double bocks in general, so I say go for it Dave.

Beer story: A store we shop at in Toledo has a make your own six pack deal for $8.99. Not that great of deal, except three of the beers available were selling for $10.99 a six pack! I filled my six with those. So far, I've liked the couple I tried!
