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.
