Samuel Adams Winter Lager
I wish this was available year-round, so I've taken to keeping a few extra bottle around to have during the summer time. I sampled this for the first time this past Holiday season. I poured it from a bottle into a pilsner glass. It poured a very nice, very dark caramel color. While pouring it, I took time to sniff at it- and I was IMPRESSED to say the least. Smelled of winter spices and malt. The taste was very impressive like the smell. It basically tastes like regular Sam with the extra spice. The spice definitley does the job of warming you up; I was feeling nice and warm and cheery after a couple of bottles. Both mouthfeel and drinkability are quite good. Another very nice offering from the Boston Beer Company. Keep it coming! Prost!
