Samuel Adams Black Lager
A- poured a nearly clear deep mahogany reddish with amber highs, frothy beige head with decent retention and a good bit of lace. S- marshamallow sweet almost root beer aroma with malty cocoa and weak coffee. earthy and woodsy hops also and maybe some tobacco and mushroom meatiness. T- taste is pretty similar to the smell, with more emphasis on sweet cocoa, roasted malt, and coffee. some dark, but not burnt caramel, like those chocolate covered reisen's candies. some earthy hops in the finish, but mostly clean and balanced out by the sweet malt. MF & D- medium body and medium carbonation, mild in flavor make for a good drinker. non aggressive taste yet still an obviously americanized brew.
