Many years ago, I was in Connecticut for training and the trainer took us out to dinner at a local Pub. They happened to have Sam Adams Double Bock on tap and we were encouraged to try a pint, because it was, supposedly, a limited seasonal beer and supposed to be very good. Well, let me tell you, IT WAS AWESOME! Very malty and kinda sweet with low IBU's, very smooth and easy to drink. May be the best beer that I've ever had!
BUT, this brew was dangerous! It must have had a very high ABV, but you could not tell it by the taste. It was like a lightly sweet malt candy.
Anyway, I had a pint before dinner, another one during dinner and a third after dinner... Oh my!! I've only been really drunk about 3-4 times in my entire life (60+ years), and this was one of them. At the pub, I had been feeling nice and warm and a little fuzzy - it was cold weather for me - but after we we left the pub, all that alcohol seemed to hit my system all at one time. I was lucky to make up the stairs to my hotel room. And then my bed was spinning around and I had to sleep sitting up in a chair for half the night.
However!! That's a long story to ask if there is a recipe for something like that Sam Adams Double Bock. It was very tasty and I did enjoy it - at least before we left the pub - and I would like to enjoy it again... albeit in much greater moderation!
Good Brewing and God Bless!!
