I really wanted to start making beer reviews myself and just started watching your reviews to see how other people are doing them. Yours are the best I've seen so far; you are informative, entertaining, and funny. Keep up the great work!!
Hey man, Nice song! i Recently got the discography for Almadrava because of your video. Pretty good band i must say I really appreciate the good music. Thanks!
I don't know if you still check this, bro, but I love this jam in the background. A lil 'bout me. I'm 23 Caucasian male who likes beer and people who like beer. I love your chill aspect in your video. I can't understand why people disliked it. I'm currently drinking a Samuel Adams Boston ale from my Saint Arnold's glass. Cheers to you mate.
Hi Joe D I think your reviews are really great and there isn't one that I dislike. I'm 57 years young and a beer drinker myself. If you ever come to Newfoundland it would be a treat to have a few beers with you. My favourite beer is Eric's Red Cream Ale and is brewed by a small local brewery called Quidi Vidi Brewery. This beer won a silver medal in Chicago in 2001 at the World BeerChampionship and that was quit an achievenent for a small brewery. Love your reviews. Cheers. Randy Collins
Man, I was kinda hooked from the first time I watched your video on this beer. I finally got to try my first chocolate bock this year, since it now comes in the yearly variety pack. This simply has to be the best chocolate beer ever created. I have also had youngs double chocolate stout and it's not as good. I love this beer and I too am a Sams fan and have had almost everything that the company has made. A+ review man. keep it up.
Man, today I tried Sam Adams Cream Stout for the first time and I was blown away!!! Ive definitely found one of my new favs. Newcastle and Guiness are my alltime favs but this one made it to the front of the line fast. Ive got to try the Chocolate bock next. Cheers man
You are spot on about this guy,, its a brilliant brew, and its awesome watching you review it ...... nice music in the background,,,,,, btw, it doesn't only come in that bottle, they have some regular ones too..... cheers.
Nice vids and reviews. I'm really enjoying them. Couple questions though. 1. Do you know when the next batch of this Chocolate Bock is due to come out. 2. The "Dundee Honey Lagre" is that sold in most beer stores 3. What is your favorite and least favorite beers you've tried. Thanks for posting these and keep them coming.
im drinking my first chocolate bock ever its the sam adams and it came in a variety pack for winter and i agree give it 2 thumbs up easily. good review
Exactly it's Christmas and this brew only comes every two years. So to me it was worth it just becuz I can't get it all the time. And this was hands down the best Sam Adams I have had!
really hope this makes the winter pack and comes in its own 6 pack. One of my favorites! is it sad that its only july and I'm already looking forward to drinking this beer again?
You are correct. But you know they must have did something different cuz people have been telling me they can still find it. My beer store just ran out not too long ago so I am not sure what they were doing.
I live about 45 minutes away from the brewery..That is my favorite beer I manage a liquor store and we sold out of all of our stock in the 2nd day! Stuff is crazy popular its bi-annual too so people want to get it before it goes.
I just did a tour of Saint Arnolds brewery. I live 10 mins away here in Houston and have never thought to do it. Awesome guys and they take HUGE pride in their beer making.
Oh, I am glad to hear from someone else that really enjoyed this brew. To me it was the best Sam Adams I have had. Thanks for the info on Utopias. My beer guy said he gets it and he is trying to find out when he will be able to have it again. He said it is about $300. Thanks for watching.
Ay homie, nice review. I'm a Sam Adams freak myself and I can truly respect how you were loking forward to that review. I'm gonna pick up that same bottle real soon, alth9ough I would have popped it open with that same Kershaw... Nice to see a hood cat doin serious beer reviews, I just discoveredf your vids but Imma check your joints out, we share the same passion... Keep it up Patna
@dime6664ever Thanks for the question. I can't really say I have a favorite. But I can tell you what I drink the most or what is my goto beer. Bud American Ale is the beer that I drink most often. It goes with everything and you can find it most anywhere you find regular Bud. I would try to stick with amber ales or brown ales if you want more of sweeter tasting beer. Something with more malt than hops. Hops can make beer more bitter and the malts make beer more sweet. Enjoy!!
Great review, a few months ago I got to try Sammy A's 2010 Chocolate Bock which came in a less impressive 12oz bottle. Which I absolutely loved. Have you ever had Brooklyn Brewery's Black Chocolate stout? It is amazing!!!!! It is an imperial stout , but you tell. Well not until the 5th or 6th one.
they have a sam adams chocolate boch that comes in the seasonal packs....i got one before christmas time....very tasty indeed....it was my fav out of the pack
I wish we could get that here. I finally found a sam adams beer in vancouver the boston lager which i really liked. Cant find anything like that here in Saskatchewan. Good review.
Great review JoeD. It's funny, I just saw this one today in my beer store. I looked at the price tag and decided against it. Seeing your review makes me want to take the plunge. hell, it's Christmas, right?
That would be one hell of a gift wouldn't it!! Me too. I loved this brew and only wish I had one right now to enjoy. Very well balanced. Best Sam Adams I have ever had!
It is high priced, but I figured that it only comes out every two years and why not. Brother it was the best Sam Adams I have ever had. If you decide to make the plunge then I will look forward to your review.
That was a great review man. Look forward to watching the rest of your videos. Now I really wish my local import beer place still has this brew. Its only a couple blocks from my house..... ....brb, ;-)
Oh I loved this brew as well. I can't wait for Utopias to hit. You are blessed to live so close to the brewery. One of these days I will visit Sam Adams Brewery. Thanks for watching and tell a friend.
Thanks so much. I love that kind of music. I just call it Ambient. There is a podcast I listen to and every once and a while this guy puts out a great mix of Ambient music. The podcast is called "Marc Mac" and I found him thru iTunes. Thank you so much for watching and tell a friend.
This review is 2 years old but I figured I'd say this anyway. The Utopias comes out every 2 years and it's about 170 bucks per bottle (the beer manager at my local store found one hiding in the back of the storeroom today that the previous manager hid for himself and forgot about - it sold instantly). Utopias is also something that you might wanna reconsider actually drinking....it's more collectible. It's 50 proof (25% alcohol). It will taste more like a brandy or cognac than a beer.
JD you are beer reviews are great and provide some great insight! Can't wait till ya do some more beers! When's ya next release or next podcast of somesort? gotta support ya vids brotha! Stay high and healthy bro! :D Ruben of Zombie HOuse Films
awesome brew...awesome review. the 2010 batch was pretty good too. i still have the 2008 bottle. maybe that bad boy will be worth something later. keep enjoying brews man. cheers
I loved the chocolate bock, I found it at my local beer store for about 13$. I was going to do a review of it as well however I started drinking it and it was gone before I thought to review it. Very pleasant roasted chocolate and barely taste. Sad that it only comes out every other year. PS the Utopias is only sold in certain states and only at certain locations within the state. I found it at a bar in Louisville for 35$ a glass.
I was really looking forward to this beer when I bought it, I was let down. I thought it lacked body and the chocolate was in the nose but not much in the glass. I love Sam Adams and this was one of the few let downs. This years chocolate bock in their variety pack was better. I am not sure if it is the same one. I guess I expected more out of this impressive bottle.
i have been going nuts trying to find this beer for my boyfriend and you just said it comes out every 2 yrs!!! it came out in 08 so i either have to pay 100 bucks online or wait for winter 2010? *sigh*
Bought a Sam Adams Winter Classic variety pack about a week ago and it came in a regular bottle. Nothing as cool as that one. Wasn't a big fan of it. Had a nice chocolate taste once it hit your lips but then it was a very watery taste.
I remember finding this video in 2009, this guy has a great energy about him, and this looks like a fantastic beer, would love to try it
I really wanted to start making beer reviews myself and just started watching your reviews to see how other people are doing them. Yours are the best I've seen so far; you are informative, entertaining, and funny. Keep up the great work!!
Hey man, Nice song! i Recently got the discography for Almadrava because of your video. Pretty good band i must say I really appreciate the good music. Thanks!
Thank you so much that is a very kind thing to say. I really do love beer and find it fun trying different styles. Thanks for watching.
I don't know if you still check this, bro, but I love this jam in the background. A lil 'bout me. I'm 23 Caucasian male who likes beer and people who like beer.

I got two of this in the fridge right now. Part of the Sam Adams winter pack.
Can't wait to try it after watching your review.
Happy New Year!
Great video. Nice background music. I had mine in a cellar. I just poured my first glad. Did you also get a mild coffee taste?
Man, I was kinda hooked from the first time I watched your video on this beer. I finally got to try my first chocolate bock this year, since it now comes in the yearly variety pack.

That's good you were able to find one and I am glad you liked it. It is a really good beer from Sam Adams. Thanks for watching.
You are spot on about this guy,, its a brilliant brew, and its awesome watching you review it ...... nice music in the background,,,,,, btw, it doesn't only come in that bottle, they have some regular ones too..... cheers.
Nice vids and reviews. I'm really enjoying them. Couple questions though. 1. Do you know when the next batch of this Chocolate Bock is due to come out. 2. The "Dundee Honey Lagre" is that sold in most beer stores 3. What is your favorite and least favorite beers you've tried.
Thanks for posting these and keep them coming.
Is it worth the money, would you buy it again?
Hey Joe D!
I was wondering when you are going to be able to get and review the Sam Adams Utopias, or if you still plan on buying it.
Thanks -Tyler
Thanks for the suggestion. I will have to consider that. Keep watching and tell a friend.
nice review. what is the cost?
im not being mean i just wanna know ar you an alchoholic or just drink it cause its good
great review, quick question, what tracklist are you playing in this video?
Thank you for the kind words. Glad you found my videos. Keep watching and tell a friend.
im drinking my first chocolate bock ever its the sam adams and it came in a variety pack for winter and i agree give it 2 thumbs up easily. good review
Great review. It also comes in the winter variety pack (which comes out once a year) FYI...
Man, just from curiosity:how many beers do you have in the fridge, generally? or how many do you drink every day
Exactly it's Christmas and this brew only comes every two years. So to me it was worth it just becuz I can't get it all the time. And this was hands down the best Sam Adams I have had!
I'm assuming they used to only sell this in the large bottles before they included them in the winter variety packs?
really hope this makes the winter pack and comes in its own 6 pack. One of my favorites! is it sad that its only july and I'm already looking forward to drinking this beer again?
You are correct. But you know they must have did something different cuz people have been telling me they can still find it. My beer store just ran out not too long ago so I am not sure what they were doing.
Thank you very much. I do enjoy Sam Adams beers and I am glad you do to. Thanks for watching and tell a friend.
I live about 45 minutes away from the brewery..That is my favorite beer I manage a liquor store and we sold out of all of our stock in the 2nd day! Stuff is crazy popular its bi-annual too so people want to get it before it goes.
I just did a tour of Saint Arnolds brewery. I live 10 mins away here in Houston and have never thought to do it. Awesome guys and they take HUGE pride in their beer making.
any idea when that beer will be out again?
Oh, I am glad to hear from someone else that really enjoyed this brew. To me it was the best Sam Adams I have had. Thanks for the info on Utopias. My beer guy said he gets it and he is trying to find out when he will be able to have it again. He said it is about $300. Thanks for watching.
such a happy person! need more people like this in the world :)
Ay homie, nice review. I'm a Sam Adams freak myself and I can truly respect how you were loking forward to that review.

Nice to see a hood cat doin serious beer reviews, I just discoveredf your vids but Imma check your joints out, we share the same passion... Keep it up Patna
does that beer taste like chocolate?
Awesome, helpful review! Thanks from South Texas!!
Yes please let me know what you think of it I love the feedback. Breckenridge is a great brewery I love their beers.
@dime6664ever Thanks for the question. I can't really say I have a favorite. But I can tell you what I drink the most or what is my goto beer. Bud American Ale is the beer that I drink most often. It goes with everything and you can find it most anywhere you find regular Bud.
I would try to stick with amber ales or brown ales if you want more of sweeter tasting beer. Something with more malt than hops. Hops can make beer more bitter and the malts make beer more sweet. Enjoy!!
It is a great beer. Would love to hear what you thought of it if you were able to pick some up.
Does guiness send u free gear to wear in vids? Just curious
Great review, a few months ago I got to try Sammy A's 2010 Chocolate Bock which came in a less impressive 12oz bottle. Which I absolutely loved. Have you ever had Brooklyn Brewery's Black Chocolate stout? It is amazing!!!!! It is an imperial stout , but you tell. Well not until the 5th or 6th one.
Now this is a man who is excited about his beer.
keep up the great work.
Great beer! Best of the winter classics so far.

Whats the music in the background. I love it!
If you are talking about Utopias i think itcomes out in another couple of months. I hope to get my hands on a bottle.
Cool. I am done with all lighters and all of that. I found me a opener that keeps the caps in good shape.
Dude,
I love your reviews. You know your beer.
You seem like a cool guy to sit back and enjoy a good brew and a cigar with!
Keep making them vids...
Good review! Can't wait to get chocolate bock in the winter classics in winter! but for now it's all about octoberfest!
I wonder how well this brew compares with Kohstrizer Schwarzbier?
I wish we could get that here. I finally found a sam adams beer in vancouver the boston lager which i really liked. Cant find anything like that here in Saskatchewan. Good review.
Great review JoeD. It's funny, I just saw this one today in my beer store. I looked at the price tag and decided against it. Seeing your review makes me want to take the plunge. hell, it's Christmas, right?

Oh! This looks soo good! I"m going to have to go out and get some...hope I can find it!
Chama River Brewery is an awesome place!
Thanks for the info but I am all done opening beers like that. I got me a good opener that takes the caps off pretty clean.
It is a really good beer and I am glad I had it at least once. Thanks for watching and tell a friend.
That was a great review man. Look forward to watching the rest of your videos. Now I really wish my local import beer place still has this brew. Its only a couple blocks from my house.....
....brb, ;-)
Thank you very much. This is a great brew if you get a chance to try it.
Oh I loved this brew as well. I can't wait for Utopias to hit. You are blessed to live so close to the brewery. One of these days I will visit Sam Adams Brewery. Thanks for watching and tell a friend.
i might have to keep an eye out for this one. nice review joe d.
im going to try very hard to get my hands on a couple of bottles of this beer this year! it sounds super tasty!
Thanks so much. I love that kind of music. I just call it Ambient. There is a podcast I listen to and every once and a while this guy puts out a great mix of Ambient music. The podcast is called "Marc Mac" and I found him thru iTunes. Thank you so much for watching and tell a friend.

Our shared love for beer makes me want to subscribe to your channel. You give out genuine reviews on all kinds of beers.
Cheers cool cat.
awesome brew...awesome review. the 2010 batch was pretty good too. i still have the 2008 bottle. maybe that bad boy will be worth something later. keep enjoying brews man. cheers
In my area it costs about $12 to 13 for that bottle.
I've never tried this beer! I Nice thorough review! I'm going to save up for one haha!!! I 'm sure it's worth it!
Is that thing (Beer) good? :)
This is the best Sam Adams I have ever had. Really Really good. Thanks for watching and tell a friend.
Well said!! Thanks for watching and tell a friend.
I loved the chocolate bock, I found it at my local beer store for about 13$. I was going to do a review of it as well however I started drinking it and it was gone before I thought to review it. Very pleasant roasted chocolate and barely taste. Sad that it only comes out every other year. PS the Utopias is only sold in certain states and only at certain locations within the state.

gonna have to try this one now. You make it sound absolutely delicious.

Just wondering, do you collect Beer bottles or Cans also ? If so a collection video would be great. I would def save that bottle there man. it's rare
@shlitsinator Thank you so much for tuning in.
If you are a Sam Adams fan than you will love this brew. The best Sam Adams I have ever had. Thanks for your continued support.
Thanks Bro. I figured why not. Since it only comes out every two years. Only live once. Consider Tripple on the list, and thank you for your input.
Great video man! keep up the good work and keep drinkin sam adams. Is the chocolate bock only a seasonal beer?
Haha I love your vids, man. Your enthusiasm keeps it interesting. I'll definitely be subscribing. Cheers!
great review as always. you did the tetley's bitter. john smith's bitter if you can get it i think is little bit better than tetleys.
Bought a Sam Adams Winter Classic variety pack about a week ago and it came in a regular bottle. Nothing as cool as that one. Wasn't a big fan of it. Had a nice chocolate taste once it hit your lips but then it was a very watery taste.
@SweatyBacks Thank you so much for the compliment I really appreciate it.
ha ha. at 7:15 you looked like you were in heaven. That beer looks so good. Im drinking a Sam Adams summer ale right now actually. U like it?
Thanks Bro I understand about the price. These beers can start adding up very quickly. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the compliment. Keep watching and tell a friend.
I really enjoy your reviews....Nice stuff...keep it up
I hope you like it! Let me know. Also you have been to Chama River? I knew you were cool.
This brew is soo good and with so much flavor you didn't even need to worry about it. Thanks for watching and commenting. I love the feedback.
