That stuff is awesome! hard to find, but well worth it.

I still haven't opened it. I will tomorrow. I bought the single bottle for $10 IIRC.

Not that I know. But I know a real suspicous character who has.

and another plus 1. 90-minute is almost as good and includes 4 for the same price of $10.

Drank the 120 minute last night. It was incredible. I followed it up with a much easier-flowing Sam Adams Chocolate Bock. The Chocolate flavor in that beer is just amazing. Can't say I'll buy the $175 case every week, but I would like to get a few more bottles for special occasions.

Mr. Good,

Upon your recommendation I sampled the Sam Adams Chocolate Bock in the Sam Adams glassware last night. On tap, it tastes exactly like its namesake. It tastes like chocolate. It tastes like a bock. It just so happens I don't particularly like bocks, even though my name is Optimator.

The 16°P gravity is rather high for a beer at 5.5% ABV. I did not feel the beer was overly sweet or syrupy. If anything it was a little thin.

I wanted to try the Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout, in hopes of a slightly different grain profile but alas I had already had a beer and I was the designated driver.

If you can get lucky enough up in the NE to find this winter time bock beer I would highly recommend it...

Indeed. The 90 minute and 120 minute IPAs are some of my favorites

By far, the most drinkable, well balanced beer I've ever had.

I am going to look for this. It looks good on the site. Thanks for sharing. I recently had a beer made by flying dog called Gonzo, its dedicated to Hunter S. Thompson. I liked it pretty good, not something you would want to drink a lot of though.

Mr. Opinionated,

I agree, it is somewhat thin (not necessarily a bad thing). I drank the second half of the 20-some oz bottle last night, and enjoyed it again.

I just got done with a 6 pack of Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout. IMO, much different then the Sam Adams. Heavier, thicker, and stronger. Not necessarily in pure chocolate flavor though... as I think the Sam Adams had a more distinct chocolate taste.

I was drinking dogfish in the 60,90, and 120 variants on thanksgiving

The 60min isn't bad, but the others are simply vicious. Way too hoppy for my taste but good lord they got me buzzed, nothing like trying 8 different beers before you eat turkey
