I might have to go off of my self imposed alcohol ban for this one.

sounds like a good resolution.... :-)

I allow myself a Newcastle a week...or a couple Amstel/Miller lites.
it's a pretty good policy. occassionally substitute a Guinness in place
of the "brown dog".

Just on general principals (and to discourage this kind of
trend) I don't think I'll fill out a survey asking for my
zipcode, year of birth and gender just so I can look at a web
page!! (Even if it is to 'Help them serve me better'!)

Sounds interesting. I've had a Sam Adams Triple Bock before. It kind of
reminded me of soy sauce or vegemite, but in a good way, like salty
liquorice.
Lucky for me (so far anyway) my only alcohol ban is to stop drinking if
I don't feel like drinking any more or if I need to be sober for
something like driving.

If it bothers you, why not just give bogus info?

Now you have nothing to worry about.

Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock
Wednesday, December 29, 2004

Pick hit: Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock.

Pedigree: Limited-edition specialty product from the 20-year-old Boston
Beer Co., arguably the most significant player in the craft-brew
movement. A marriage of Samuel Adams beer and Scharffen Berger Chocolate
of Berkeley, Calif., this brew has won awards at several international
beer festivals. It comes in an attractive 25-ounce bottle with a cast
pewter label, making it a great gift for beer fans.

Why hoist one: Yes, it does taste like chocolate, but the initial
sweetness gives way to a more complex blend of roasted malts with a hint
of coffee and vanilla. Low carbonation. Smooth brew doesn't reveal its 7
percent alcohol level.

Find it: Arrived in specialty beverage stores in November, so get it
while it lasts.

You'll pay: About $15 a bottle.

Each week, Scott Stephens spotlights a brew from anywhere around the
world that's worth trying. Availability will vary; so will prices.

Sounds like a good brew. Too bad I'll probably never see them in my area.

Yikes!!!
I brewed three cases of Chocolate Porter for about $30...
ok mine is only about 5.5% alc
At that price I think you can find a better deal and better beer... For instance Brooklyn Brewery's Chocolate Stout... or Their Barley wine

As for me... Give me a homebrew!

Saw that in College Liquors (yes... that is actually the name of the packy)
and was real tempted to get it, even with the price. A post-finals
splurge.... but instead I grabbed some Harpoon Winter Warmer. That stuff
is AWESOME - it tastes like Xmas! And you get a 6 pack for a lot less than
$15...

Spoken like a true Michigander...are you sure you're not a Uper?

Goodoz (hee heh)

Been around for years by other companies. Good but its
like liver can't take to much more. The best of Sam is just their Bock
alone.

15 bucks a bottle I'll stick with my Guinness Extra
Stout in the big bottle at $2.90 and a dime back in change.
