Samuel Adams Octoberfest
Served in a 12 oz bottle and dispersed into a pint glass. Freshness date (notch) of Feb. Rather average looking beer. A small head forms but disperses immediately but interestingly enough leaves little bits of lacing down the glass. Bronze/ amber in color. Not a whole lot in the smell. Some spice and malt and a little bit of yeast smell. Not bad but Ive smelled better. Tastes pretty good. A little sweet but good. Spiciness is there; nutmeg, pepper, pumpkin or squash, and a touch of hops. Malts are pretty heavy in this one.I would have liked to see a little more hop bitterness in the back. Mouthfeel is a little sticky and sticks to the teeth and tongue a bit. Quite drinkable. I would buy another sixer of this later this year during halloween trick-or-treating or something.
