Samuel Adams Triple Bock 1994

Never had trip bock but big fan of samuel adams. Why are there so few sam adams
beers here though!?!? I am suprised there is no summer ale. One of my favorites.
I'd like to so some more sam please!

never had 3x bock, but i sure had double bock...i didnt know(couldnt even taste)
it had a higher alcohol content than regular bocks (stupid yeah i know) after
four of these double bocks i was pukin my brains out and it gave me a horrible
hangover

JAM's mostly right. And I grew up in South Portland, Maine and loved "Kaar-i"
(that's how we said it) Yastrzemski and Bobby Orr. All our dads had union
jobs.We moved away when I was 8 - but I still miss it. I stillhave friends
there, and we left in 1980. There are some good people in New England. Fact is,
not all guys in New England are yuppie p#ssies. Even if I have meant plenty that
are. But some aren't.Some New England guys could pull their weight in Texasand
back it up. Most couldn't but my friends could.I say that because I met a girl
in Lubbock through a buddyof mine and his wife, who live there. I've been in
Lubbockquite a bit. And West Texas is the frontier side of Texas.Most of the
guys I saw there seemed like tough guys and honest guys.Fact is, I think Texas
has more honest and genuine peoplethan New England but there are people in New
England thatcan every bit fit in in Texas.But the Sam Adams/BUDWEISER brewery is
as a general rulesh%t. If you don't drink a beer to get drunk, then you know,I
suggest wine, there's more flavor with it and it impresses women more. You won't
put on weight as fast with it either. EKU is I say the best strong beer. It's at
the border between beer and syrup. But it's not syrup. Ben Denton Fairfax,

I have a couple of cases of 1995,I would be willing to sell or trade. If anyone
is interested, let me know, at DEAD6HEAD@aol.com

I think if you're the type of person that appreciates only that your beer
doesn't taste like crap and gets you "wasted" without a hangover then you ought
not be posting reviews of specialty brews.This beer comes in a 10oz. bottle and
is meant to be sipped to appreciate its complex flavors.If you like to gulp
yourbeer I suggest Schlitz or Coors lite(not that there's anything wrong with
that)But if you're going to cruise in a big Hummvee don't expect it to drive
like a Alpha Romeo.Try it while tokeing one up and remember to sip and
savor.P.S. I have a few 1994 vintage bottles and pop one open fromyear to
year,usually about Christmas time.The stuff just getsbetter and better.I wonder
what the remainders would be worthto collectors?

The novelty wore off immediately after the first sip...Too much flavor, too much
body...Would make a better topping forwaffles or pancakes. I cannot help but
feel that this was a mistake on someone's part, andthey compounded their mistake
by bottling it, then charging an insaneprice for it.But, I'm sure it could
become an aquired taste, just not for me.

I tried this one earlier this year when I saw it at"systembolaget" (in sweden,
that's only place that isallowed to sell anything with more than 3,5% alcohol,in
other places, you may be served, but you can't takeit home).Theý had a couple of
beers which they were sellingfor a limited period only.Some of Those were Red
Seal, Sierra Nevada Wheat,Chamberlain Pale Ale, Nutfield Auburn, Nutfield Old
Man Aleand Sam Adams Triple Bock.I bought one of every kind and later, me and my
girlfriendwere trying some of them out. I think the 3rd or 4th onewe tried was
the Triple Bock.Although I knew it was a strong beer, I poured a littletoo much
into each of the two glasses.Tasting the beer was quite a shock for the mouth.We
were going to a friend's house later, so we didn't havetime to finish all the
beer I had poured into our glasses.I think I eventually finished my glass, but
my girlfriendcouldn't finish hers in time, even with some help from me,so I
poured the rest of her glass back into the bottle.The friend who were going to
visit has 2 different home-brewson tap, which he needed help emptying, so he
could brew somenew beers. Therefore, the Triple Bock was left at home.But after
a couple of days or so, I tried tasting the same bottle,and it didn't seem to
have gone bad like most beers would havedone after you had poured them back into
the bottle andcontinued drinking a couple of days later.It wasn't even
carbonated to begin with and it DID have acork which can be put back on.Towards
the end of the bottle it had hit me that this was apretty nice drink, in tiny
doses.Eventually, I bought another bottle (they costed about 8$) and
onenight,while I was at the computer writing someting (don't reallyremember what
I was writing, but I was sitting by the computer),it occured to me that I had
about half a bottle left or so(it was my 3rd bottle so far).It was about the
same amount that me and my girlfriend hadbeen unable to finish a couple of weeks
earlier but now Icould drink it all by myself, and enjoying it much morethan I
had done the first time.So, at first I thought I could drink it like it was a
commonlager or something, and then I ended up being able to drinkit like it was
a common lager or something (well, almost).Anyway, it's a wonderful beer.It's
lovely with a bit of dark chocolate on the side. :)If I was a millionaire, I
would import hundreds of these.Too bad they've stopped selling them here. :(

This beer, properly aged, and properly consumed... is incredible. Butit's not a
beer for the weak, and it's certainly not for somebody whoisn't really into
drinking dark beer. This is a beer for beer lovers,not for natty drinkers. If
you drank this hoping to get trashed onsomething easy, you should have saved
your money and bought a cheapbottle of Vodka or a case of natural light.

CB, you are right, this beer is delightful......very robust withcarmel
aftertones...... and bye the way.... this is a true Americanbeer... an
institution if I may add. The oversea people would knownothing about it.

This beer is great. I drink 2-3 bottles a night, waking up the nextday feeling
fine...too the foreigners....you guys would not know goodbeer if it slapped you
in the ass.

To lennart.astrom@manh.kalix.se Are you Ilé...? ...and a blue bottlefor beer is
not good idea....

I think it is good stuff. I have had better ports and stouts in myday...but damn
good stuff, and a worthy addition to a winter night.

Here is a brewer's perspective:My friend and I like making beer. We make
different beers fordifferent purposes:1) beer for guests and mowing the lawn in
the summer: a wit whichgirls LOVE. Refreshing, it hits the spot without
hammering you.2) house ale: the beer WE like to DRINK most often. Making this
beeris a series of reflex actions. A Scottish or Indian. A littledifferent
each time. A little stronger when I get my way, but alwaysHOPPY!!! :-)3)
specialty beers: Lots of work, time and planning goes into makingthese brews. I
like to savor them after dinner. It is a relaxing,sensory exploration. I enjoy
every moment. The changing smells andtastes. The coolness when you inhale.
Noticing what time does to myhandiwork.4) barley wine: VERY special brews which
are far too strong to callbeers. Too hoppy unless they are aged a long time.
These are veryspecial, only brought out for special people on special
occasions.Most home-brewers I know refer to this "Triple" as a Barley Wine.In
any case, most specialty beers (and certainly all barley wines) arenot for
drinking. They are for savoring.

I would like to try this beer if anyone can tell me whereto get it online or
off.

The best raisinade you can have ! Absolutly beautiful to be drunk.

Brewed for Yuppies who don't know what a real beer is.I agee with the comment
about 100 different flavours. Fortunately, I don't know what shit tastes like,
because otherwise Iwould hazard to say that it is 100 variations on
shit.Regarding those who like this tripe because it gets them wasted. Growup and
start drinking bourbon.

Good beer, but very proud of it price-wise. Gold etched bottle andall.

This shit is wild!!! But it tastes like a twist of maple syrup andcognac. Bad
tast but if your aim is to get drunk at a classy beer thisis your drink, but it
tastes bizaar!!!

this is a a really hard beer!for really hard men!brutal!

My favourite beer is Guiness Stout from a tap. This beer veryundrinkable from a
flavour standpoint. The bottle looks fantastic butthat is about it. I respect
what the makers were trying to accomplish,however, the result is something you
drink on a dare and not assomething to enjoy. Most of the reviews here talk
about how drunk itgets you and that is the standpoint from a college kid. As far
as beertaster's point of view goes this is a futile attempt into trying toget
some critical recognition for a big brewery disguised as a smallone. If you can
get a hold of one bottle keep it as a collectableitem, it is a beautiful design,
but do not drink the concoctioninside. If what you want is to get drunk, buy
some everclear instead.

Fact is about this beer, it is ground breaking. I don't like itmyself, but to
brew a Gerrman bock in the style of a Belgian Trippel is something to
beadmired.Wether it's strength kicks your ass or not, this beer is nothing short
of a "New Breed" in craft brewing. All breweries stick to the simple styles, but
these guys really went out on a limb and made something extremely dificult to
create. I applaude the effort, but as a "real" beer drinker, this is just too
much. There is a time and place for this beer, butthey are few and far
in-between. I have a friend who normally drinks Sam Adamsale or lager, who was
going out on a fishing boat with his father,and he bought a case of Triple Bock
for over$100 because he thought if it cost thatmuch it must be amazing. Needless
to say, on a hot summers day out on a boat they had nothing to consume after
trying one of these pallette killers.The bottle I keep in my collection is from
this excursion, andI relish the fact that I never had to buy one.

I have to agree with my brother kaponch2@people.com bu I would like to add
something to it. it looks like you drained outyour oil pan fromyour car and
added nestle quick to it. That is houw it looksand tastes. I think an ass would
taste better.

This stuff barely resembles beer, it's more like a old porter that isabout a
hundred years old. It's very thick and syrupy with a smell ofchocolate and
molasses. An acquired taste for someone that has notaste buds left.

Pancake syrup... And not the real stuff- like the generic store-brand. Sickly
sweet. I believe it took 2 rolls of TUMS to get over thisone...

They sell this stuff at for 3.00 a bottle here is austin texas. iwould rather
drink a corona. They ruined perfectly good maple syrup

my name is anthony and i drink this beer all the time and i be gettinghigh off
this to.!

This is a quality liquer and should not be in the beer category. It tastes good
when the serving instructions arefollowed but lacks what the normal beer drinker
desires.

Must say I like heavy duty beers. Thomas Hardy good stuffI can even stand
Jager. But this was not to be, maple inbeer no way. This is the only heavy
duty beer I have not liked.

A truly FOUL-tasting 'beer'. I think I expected something along thelines of a
drinkable brew but, alas, I was wrong. To those of you whohaven't tried it yet,
just keep in mind that it tastes like maplesyrup. YUK!

This one really twisted my face. I had no idea what to expect fromthis triple
bock and was confused after tasting it. The abundance offlavors was truely
amazing never before has a beer tantilized so manyof taste buds. The extremely
sweet flavor with the maple syrupovertones was a little too much for me. This is
truely a craft beerand like art needs personal interpritation, so try one for
yourself,it is well worth the experience. NOT FOR THE MACRO BREW DRINKER!!!

Oh yeah, the strongest beer on the planet, just like water,because it's
American... Stupid git.

Even If you like this stuff! I don't. It's very bad for you.It's called a drug.
A drug is any substance other than food that canaffect the way YOUR MIND and
BODY works. Alcohol is called aDepressentA depressant means drugs that slows
down a person. If you continue drinking alcohol it will cause drunkness, loss
orcoordination, increases in violence, inability to learn and remember, changes
inpersonality,increases the number of accidents, and troubles with other people!
You'll also get hangovers, terrible headaches, sick to the stomach,andalso can
cause DEATH!!!

BEER MAN,I LOVE DARK BEER BUT THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE. I SHOULD HAVELISTENED TO
SHELDON,BUT I HAD TO TRY IT. FORCED DOWN TWO SIPS AND SAIDI DRINK BEER NOT
SYRUP. TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK. BOTTLE IS SURE NEAT!

How can anyone think that this beer's taste is strong?Everything made in America
tastes watery. Even yourcoffee does.

Ol' Jimmy's way right there, this is not for the adventurousbeer drinker, it's
for the adventurous hard liquor drinker.Should be drank at room temperature, if
at all. Just open it. Now smell it. That's exactly what it takes like,
exceptwith an overwhelming alcoholic taste. I didnt enjoy it,personally,
because I am not into hard alcohol to speak of. (Now, a few screwdrivers would
be ok, but that's it! :)

Not Beer. Liquor.

Not too bad a beer, but I would classify it as more of a barleywinethan a bock.
Also a bit sweet and plummy. Maybe a little more hopwould improve my opinion.

This beer would be good if it did not taste like tariokie suace.If yoiu ever get
a chance to buy it do just to say that you have drankthe strongest beer in the
world

After drinking it, and all the hours of pissing and moaning,I felt horrble.
Great night, great beer. THanx Sam

An incredible beer(beer i guess you can say that)it taste like chocolate and
some port wine together.A must for the beer lover.Not to get drunk on it but to
have it to good food.And by the way they brew some pretty good beerhere in
america.Not the big companys but the microbrewerys.Try some VICTORY from
pennsylvania.They have some fantastic beersand there hop devil is the domestic
beer of the year(www.victorybeer.com).I really started to appreciate american
micros and i comefrom a beer drinking country....deutschland(bayern).

how to find this beer in france (samuel adams triple bock 1994)can you answer me
i want to know if we can command it and wherethank you

i had like a bottle of this stuffand then i got wasted and had like 32 shots of
RUMand so i was fallin all over the placeand then it was in my coat pocketand
then i was like, SHIT it brokeand i never got to drink iti wish i did so i could
see what you all are bitching aboutanywaysme and Jonny Cash got wasted and never
got to drink up this bottlelaterP moneyand i did the mushroom mark jon

Be warned. This cannot be called a beer. It's flat, oily,viscous, and is nothing
like beer. More like nasty cheapport mixed with metho, with a reekingly bitter
after-taste. Chicken piss? Not really. Though if you took chicken piss,blended
it with maple syrup, and added something acidic(like vinegar, or maybe a mild
battery acid) you might comecloser to trying to describe the weird masochistic
sensationof drinking this "beer".I was really disappointed in Triple Bock. I
expected beer.Instead I got something flat and viscous, resembling an evilblend
of cheap port and over-cooked molasses, smelling likehot sump oil mixed with
maple syrup. For the extortionatecost this "beer" is bad value for drinking
pleasure (cost meUSD$7.00 for 8.45 fl.oz. of the "non-vintage"; the
"vintage"cost USD$20.00 per bottle!!!). Even the cork smelled bad.On a positive
note it may well be an acquired taste, but Icouldn't get past the first bottle
it was so nasty, so Idoubt that I'll ever acquire the taste. Which is just
aswell - my money and my liver will live lot longer as aresult.Final note - this
is over-priced shit in a bottle.AVOID!- sheldon.

First of all in USA they don't know how to make beer. Haven't drinkthis beer but
i'll quess it taste like chiken piss.

That stuff made me piss the bed and see god man, what do they put inthat shit to
make it taste like mud, bud hit you like a ton of badshit. Puke facot of 5.

I DON'T LIKE IT.

Since I saluted to Sam Adams TB somewhere above already, I'd like totalkto you
today about other triple brew - The Cabin Fever TripleAle from the New Glarus,
WI. It has half of the SATB gravity,but 20 is pretty respectable number still.
Cabin Fever has acolor of a clear amber and a great taste. After a couple
ofbottles you suddenly realize this world is not that badly screwedafter all.And
you can get a six-pack for just under 6 bucks. Try it!Regards,V.

I would like to try it!

When my boss Bruce stops playing about at workplanning perhaps he canget us a
bottle of this little baby to try.Mind you we wont see himfor dust when his
offer comes through.

Never tried, but, thanks to this wonderful page, myself, and the rest of dykstra
Hall fifth floor (dyk5) our planning to try this beer.JP

This beer kicks ass. To Helsinki beer drinker - what do ya drink toeven thinkof
f...ing the cheesegrinder?! Yikes!

Best damn beer i've ever had in my life, try it!

I need me a bottle of this stuffEmail me with a price to Australia

My roomate wasted himself one night on 3bock and for a week straightwas vomiting
on himself and immediate surroundings. The alcoholcontent reaked havoc on his
system so bad he had alcohol poisoning. Great beer! I give respect to a beer
that demands it. Many salutesto Sammy on another fine beverage!

Is this really true? I must try again!

havent had the opportunity to try - anyone know of who exports it toaustralia -
which company in australia can get a hold of this stufffor me - email me at
wilmarc@powerup.com.au

It smells like molasses, tastes like molasees, but baby, it ain'tmolasses!

If you get drunk with this beer, it's because you neverdrank reelbeer.

If the prize would have been 1/5 of what it is todayit might have been worthit.

By far one of the best beers that I have ever tasted. I have todisagree with
our patthetic southern friend from Dallas and have tosay that I think Sam Adams
is by far the best beer in America. Getover it pal! The Civil War ended a long
time ago, so just get over itand get alife!

Isn't it actually brewed in the Pittsburgh Breweries??Samuel tastes okay, if
compared by the US standards.I doubt it would sell in, say, the Czech Republic
(formerCzechoslovakia).

Tastes like someone pissed in a bottle. Much like Stag=DeerPiss.

good with frenchfries!

I drink it always when I´m making love witha beautifulwoman!!!

I think that it´s fantastic.

How can people possibly get drunk on this one? Getting wastedon this must be
grueling indeed!With its particular recipe, it is debatable whether this brewcan
still be considered a beer. However, if you follow theinstructions,you'll find
this is a thoroughly enjoyable beverage, much betterthan the Samichlaus, the
Scaldis or other high-alcohol beers.Taste reminds me a little of Porto, with a
dash of maple syrup.Veryinteresting!

Unlike Anything You will ever try. There mustbe at least 100 diffrent tastes
each mouthfull!A must try! BTW> 1995 was a wonderful vintage also!

This shit mudt taste like a drink made of fifty-fifty Homemadebeer and
(Hemkört).

Samual Adams Triple Bock---The shittiest from a shitty brewery.Sam Adams beers
are for Northeastern yuppie pussies.

It's strong.. I'll give it that.. But as far asthe taste- NASTY! drinking
this is like drinkingJagermeister. Be sure that you're near the toiletwhen you
sample this one!

This is not beer; it is digestible perfume.It should be categorized as a liquer.
I say our friend at the Boston Brewery had a few toomany one night and got a
bit too adventurous.For those of you who need to get the hangoverof a lifetime,
I suggest Mickey's malt liquor.It's easy to drink and you can get about a
month'sworth for the price of one triple "chanel #5" bock.

this is some good stuffman. iwas so wasted. can you hook me up with some of this
stuff!!!!! i would be very happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!bye bye i think i will pass out
now From: "Rick H. Harding" Subject: Triple Bock 1994I share Simon's feelings on
this Triple Bock, and the hangover which followed...Samuel Adams' Triple Bock is
a true "-ator" to be respected... And the hangover was worth every painful
minute... Rick from California, USA.

By far, the greatest beer ever made. I just don't think somepeople get this
stuff--IT'S NOT MEANT TO GET YOU DRUNK!!!!This is evidenced by your awful
hangovers! Read the bottleand follow serving suggestions, and you will find
that ittruly is awesome. 2-3 ounces at a time in a brandy snifter;have some
Tiramisu, and you will find happiness!
