Comments on: Samuel Adams launches Imperial series http://www.realbeer.com/blog/?p=962 What part of beer don't you understand?

I buy my 12 packs only on sale at a Navy Exchange for $10.99. I see the same at $14.90 a 12 pack outside and that’s plus 7 % tax." In Norway we have to pay $6 for a bottle of Sam Adams Bosten Lager.. That means $72 for a 12 pack.. Still I buy it almost every friday. To expensive? $9.99 for a four-pack of Imperial!? That would be a bargain in Norway... I reckon the price would be around $40-44 for a four-pack.. “Too expensive. I buy my 12 packs only on sale at a Navy Exchange for $10.99.

Since then I ordered enough to last a year each year & drank it exclusively. Now that they changed the formula, I am greatly disappointed. The "new" DB is more bitter, less sweet, and not nearly as good. After drinking one there is no desire to have a second, as there always was with the old formula. I'm now desperately seeking a substitute but without much hope, as many people seem to like the new style. When I first discovered Sam Adams Double Bock I thought I had died & gone to heaven!

OK, I'll name the bar - it was The Shannon Rose - hardly a bar I'd expect to find such a gem on tap. Anyway, they poured it in one of those new, Sam Adams designed glasses (which they let me keep, which was good news considering the steep pint price). Let me tell you that that was a pint to remember - WOW. Awesome stuff. I didn't realize the recipe had changed until reading this article. I just thought it was different due to being a different year, and on draught which I never had before. I have always been a fan of Sam Double Bock and usually have to look out of state to find any. To see it on tap in Jersey no less, was quite a find. That was my favorite pint of '09. Hurry over there before it's tapped out. They say they are only getting one keg. Imperial? INDEED.

It is a bit expensive, but you get what you pay for. Sam Adams is known for quality craft brews...on a bit larger scale than most micro's. Cheers! Craft beers aren’t designed for the economist.

Give me the North Coast Rasputin Imperial Stout from Ft. Bragg, CA. I've only had it from the tap so I can't speak for the bottles. Sam Adams makes awesome brews but I have a new favorite in stouts.
