Increasing the earthy flavor of beets?

I enjoy the "earthy" flavor of beets -- I would like to know: What way(s) of preparing beets result in the most earthy flavor? And are certain types of beets known for tasting earthier?

Are beets related to turnips?

We recently made fresh beets, which was a new experience for me, and I was surprised to discover that a freshly cooked fresh beet tastes quite like a similarly cooked turnip. Is there any connection between the two foods?

beet stock shelf life

How long will beet stock be good in the fridge and is it obvious (odor or otherwise) if it's bad. I've had this beet stock for a while and I want to drink it but I'm a little nervous. It smells fine and looks fine.
