Maybe you just don't like the style!
Much love to the BA guys, but Todd's wrong about this one. I would assign Triple Bock to the same style as fermented products like Thai fish sauce and worcestershire. The member reviews are priceless:
-"Soy sauce with a dash of Robitussin."
-"Onions, salt, cheap alcohol and vomit"
-"Needed a rape shower after drinking it"
-"Soy sauce soaked wood."
-"Rubbing alcohol, chocolate, rum barrel, oak, diarrhea, and possibly some buffalo hot wing induced vomit."
-"The stir fry of the damned consists of the rotting remains of chairman Mao along with the absolute horrid reduced flavors of the dead laborers used to fill the Great Wall of China."
-"Bill you are an ******* for making me drink this..."
There are some good reviews but I suspect they are from people rationalizing their expen$$$ive purchase of an umami bomb.
