      I would have thought adding a shot of literally anything, including Malort, would improve it. I know taste is subjective, but I refuse to believe there a more than three or four people in the world who would truly enjoy a 28% beer, and they're just massive outliers in human tastes.

      @@thomasyates3078 Not true at all. Dogfish Head and Three Floyds make imperial IPAs that go above 20%, and both are delicious. You just can't sit there and slam 8 bottles of them like they're a regular beer.

    The Sam Adams corp. missed a huge opportunity to Ice PVIII here. The look on his face as he opened that fancy box only to see a Smirnoff Ice looking back at him would have been worth enough to purchase one of these Utopias in ANY state I say, American or otherwise

    I tried Sam Adams Triple Bock way back when, and I remember well the notes of soy sauce and undrinkabibility it had.
    The bottle was beautiful, though. So, we dumped the beer out and kept the bottle. I think we got the better of that deal.

    I can't even imagine the resell prices on this. Years ago I worked at a good beer store in my town, we got our yearly single case of Goose Island Bourbon County. It's nothing $$$ wise compared to this. But a guy called and offered my boss 5x the price to sell him the entire case. I think it was $18 a bottle back then, so he was ready to drop over a G on some damn beer.
    This wouldn't be a beer to me, I love beer, especially IPA/DIPA/Hazy IPA's, but can't stand hard alcohol, so this would be completely lost on me. Same with Bourbon County, and that's much closer to a beer than this. I tried a few of the 13%'ish barrel aged we sold and I wasn't a fan. That said, if someone I knew had a bottle I would definitely try a sip to see what it's like.
