beer_name: Samuel Adams Black Lager
text: Poured from 12 oz. bottle to pint glass A: Pours dark brown like used motor oil...small head doesn't stick around long but leaves behind generous lacing. I love the look of dark beers but this isn't the prettiest I've ever seen. S: Tons of malts and caramel...but the overall aroma is fairly faint. As it warms just a hint of bitterness. T: The tiniest hint of hops of front followed by loads of malt sweetness and caramel. I love it. M: Complements the taste perfectly...full bodied and creamy...initial bit of carbonation on the tongue complements the mild hops but everything mellows out towards the end. D: I really enjoy this one and the fairly low ABV means this is sure to be a new session beer for me. The very thick mouthfeel might be a turnoff for some. Yet another impressive selection from Sam Adams. I had to wait a while for my local beer store to get this in because it seems to sell out as soon as it hits the shelves around here. It was worth the wait.
