| Bock chillin on the window sill. |
Let me just start off by saying our founding fathers were
awesome, not only did they build our country; they brewed some beer while they
were at it. They never teach you this stuff in school, but I have a feeling
that they had a few Double Bocks in them when they dumped all that tea in the
ocean at the Boston Tea Party. I am glad that the Boston Beer Company gives us
a reminder through their Sam Adams brand that our country was founded on beer.
Now, to this Double Bock…I probably wouldn’t recommend
having this beer at your July 4th BBQ. It’s no “session beer.” On
the other hand, if you love malty beer, and I mean really love malt, this may
just be your beer of choice when you want to feel classy.
Honestly, I think that the Boston Beer Company might have taken
this one a little too far, with half a pound of malt per bottle to brew this
beer it’s a little sickening (sweet). Also, you can sure taste the alcohol
because it is 9.5% ABV, making this is a real sipper.
What I really enjoyed about this beer were the coffee and
chocolate flavors. You don’t have to be a beer snob to recognize that this beer
has some serious flavor going on!
By the way, did I mention this beer has 323 calories per bottle?
With enough malt for a loaf of bread, drinking this beer is also equivalent to
eating a loaf of bread. Except that it will give you a buzz. One of these beers
has enough calories for like 7 weight watchers points, so totally worth it. (You’re
allowed like 2000 points a day right? Or is that calories? Shoot, there goes
the new year’s resolution.)
Stay Classy!
