As for the Chocolate Bock, if it is as good as I've heard, I would probably buy more at $14.99. I pay that for a bottle of wine, and I like beer more than I do wine!

I had some Chocolate Bock on Friday. It was pretty smokey at first, but if you let it breath for a bit it becomes QUITE chocolate-y.

Each Utopias release is a little different from what I understand. I've only sampled the 2007 release but I know the alcohol content of Utopias has steadily climbed every time it is released. So, I would assume the flavors changes as well. I can say I once sampled some Millenium Ale which is basically the daddy of Utopias and it has a VERY different flavor profile than Utopias.

I'd buy it if I saw it at the $15 price point.

I just did yesterday for 15.99. I found a chocolate stout I liked and figured I would give this a go.

Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock

Dark mahogany hue. Cocoa and roasted malt aromas follow through on an utterly smooth and chocolatey palate that never turns sweet and finishes with a lingering malt aftertaste. One of the best combinations of malt and chocolate we have seen.

Limited quantities

Reg: 14.99 (the email didn't show the sale price)
Size 750ml

I'm the same way. I have a bottle that I paid $14.99 for at home but will likely buy 2 more on the way home tonight to bring with me to the inlaws.
