Samuel Adams Boston Ale (Stock Ale)
mapley color, very clear. spotty, patchy foam. has that sweet, malty, rich sam adams nose.. very similar to alot of their other low abv ales. marzen-ey in its malt richness with accenting spice. initially flavor kicks off with raw cinnamon stick dust followed up by caramel swirls.. finishes with a distinctive hop bitterness without much hop flavor. distinctly tin-foil aftertaste thing happening. very odd beer.. flavorful but lacking in any direction. koch has managed to make a rich, delicious beer here that leaves me frankly puzzled as to what the hell it is that i'm drinking. respectable, but i wouldn't opt for a six-pack.
