Samuel Adams Black Lager
Got this in a Sam Adams Mix Pack. Pours a dark dark brown body with about a one finger head and leaves a little lacing. Nice, full malty aroma. A little sweet too. Nice tasting, but not a standout in flavor for a schwarzbier. There are no off flavors, but its lightest tasting black lager I've had. Very similar to Saranac Black Forest. Goes down easy and isn't terribly filling for a dark beer, but I think this is only because the flavor and body are too light for the style. Very drinkable and I'd never refuse one of these. However, if I wanted a cheaper black lager, I'd still go with Saranac Black Forest. Possibly a good beer for someone just starting to try darker beer.
