I think it will cold age, then. It's sold as an "ale" in Texas because of the alcohol percentage.
However, the brewer's description clearly states "lager".

Yes a Bock is a dark lager and in this case a double bock being higher in alcohol content. It should have already been aged by the time you bought it. Drink one now an another in 3 months and let us know how it turns out. I'm curious myself since I've never aged a beer other than aging a homebrew.

Sam Adams probably tastes better when it is stale, flat, and old. Can't taste much worse...

What? for a mass produced beer it's pretty good. What do you call good beer? Budweiser? Now yes there are much better beers than SA but for a beer that is made is the volume that SA is, it's top notch. YOu can find it ANYWHERE and is priced decently.

Stepping up to Busch is not good beer, my friend.

I'm kind of curious myself.

Lagering is usually done before the beer is bottled. I believe that Sam Adams is filtered before bottling, so a majority of the yeast that contributes to flavor development is no longer there. I would suspect that any improvement in the beer would be minimal, but I look forward to hearing the jury's verdict.

I've been drinking Pacifico, Newcastle Brown Ale, etc. lately. Coors light is the very minimum anymore. I guess I did have one night recently of bad beer. It was called "Beer thirty". Thirty pack for 12 bucks. Talk about shitty.

Good beer is $12/6 pack. Pacifico is ok for a mexican beer but you should try some Negra Modelo. It is also a dark lager and made by the same company that makes Corona and Pacifico.
