I took a good sniff of the ale into my nose. It smelled like.....alcoholic prunues. I took a sip.....and it tastsed like...prunes. Disguting. Vile. Jim Koch...I like you, but why did you make this beer? Just because you could, doesn't mean you had to. This is not only the most vile and unenjoyable beer that has ever touched my lips, it is the most disgusting liquid that has graced my palate. Worse than water mixed with mud. Absolutely atrocious. Most of this expensive bottle of liquid made its way down the drain. It was that unenjoable. Undrinkable. Stay away!

the beer is like 11 years old and only 12% or something like that.
you need a much higer ABV to get it age well for 10+ years.
Yo turdmonger,
What was worse - the triple bock or the milk stout?
You obviously don't have the taste for a real quality. This Triple Bock is absolutely delicious. I have purchased two cases and it is the best quality Triple Bock out there. I do believe that Budweiser or Miller would be a much better fit for your palate since you're not a real connoisseur of fine spirits. Save your money and enjoy the cheap suds.
You obviously are an idiot. The Russian Monger has the finest beer palate imaginable. He's like Garrett Oliver on steroids.
Go take a look a good look at yourself in the mirror. One good look will prove that the idiot is you! You are clueless on judging quality brews. Maybe you should get the $#&@ out of your mouth before you review another brew. Your taste is lacking. Stick with Natural Light or the equivalent. Furthermore, best advice is to change your profession. You would be doing yourself a favor. Have a Great Day!
If you like beers that taste like prunes, so be it. Also, you said the Russian Monger wasn't a "connoisseur of fine spirits." I don't think he has ever claimed to be, only a renowned reviewer of beer who happens always to be right.
Okay, enough with the name calling - everyone's palate is different. BUT, I will say that even though I enjoyed the SATB when it came out in 1994, it has aged oddly and to many people, not well. Like a red wine, it has changed as it has aged - when it was young it was multi-layered and sophisticated but is now a sort of one trick pony. Most people get either prunes, soy sauce, or chocolate mixed with prunes or soy sauce! PERSONALLY, I get more soy than prunes, with a pronounced bitterness where previously it was sweet (almost cloyingly so). The alcohols have mellowed if not evaporated entirely, with a lingering aftertaste of english biscuit. An interesting longtidunal study if high alcohol brews but not, sad to say, as good a brew today as it was 11-13 years ago.
