beer_name: Samuel Adams Holiday Porter
text: 12 oz. bottle tried 3 Feb 2008. Gift from R&T, thanks guys! Very large foamy tan head. Very dark brown in color, almost black. Aromas of chocolate nibs and coffee. Lots of milk chocolate and coffee flavor. Fairly roasty sweet, reminiscent of cappuccino. Finishes nicely bittersweet. Fairly heavy body, nice mouthfeel. Ethanol is mild. Overall pretty good, not sure what makes it 'holiday'.
