Chocolate Bock beer by Samuel Adams to be exact.

The beer is a limited edition brew, comes in 750 mL bottles and looks a little fancier than your average beer, complete with a snazzy metallic label.

Samuel Adams has been brewing it since 2003 after pairing up with Swiss chocolate company Felchin. (The Swiss definitely know their chocolate.)

Chocolate Bock also tastes better than your average beer. With heavy chocolate notes, this beer should be paired with dessert or drink it alone (or maybe as dessert) and could be a great introductory for those who think they don’t like beer.

The only downside: You need to buy this one fast. Because it a limited edition, there are only so many bottles out there and they’re going quickly.

Here are a few places you can find it in the Nashua area:

• Jaspers Homebrew & Winemaking, 4 Temple St., Nashua.
• The Drink Shoppe, 214 Central St., Hudson.
• The Liquor Shop, 440 Middlesex Road, Tyngsborough, Mass.

 If you know of any more, feel free to post them below (or maybe you’d rather keep them to yourself.)

Drink Magic Hat, grab your video camera and get creative.

Magic Hat’s hoping you’ll do just that with its contest Footage of Fools. The contest goes hand-in-hand with the winter 12-pack, Feast of Fools, featuring the Odd Notion Winter brew, Braggot, along with Circus Boy, # 9 and Roxy Rolles.

The company is asking people 21 years and older to create a video featuring their concept of the “dog days” of winter. The video must have a dog and Magic Hat in it in some form.

The winner of the contest will get a Canon HV10 HDV camcorder. You can watch the videos on YouTube.

Oh yeah, and about the beer: Braggot was the only one in the 12 pack I hadn’t tried. I have yet to find a Magic Hat beer that I won’t drink, and the Braggot was no exception. The beer, which is a mix of mead and ale, was a crisp surprise for a winter brew, but it’s a big winner and a reminder of sandy beaches and warmer months as winter nears.
