Samuel Adams Holiday Porter
Pours an opaque dark brown with mahogany hues. Two fingers of tight foamy tan head has good retention and leaves nice lacing behind. Smells of chocolate, caramel, spices, nuts, fruit, and floral hops. Tastes of molasses and caramel up front, then some chocolate, roasted malt, light notes of coffee, dried fruits, spices, and floral hops. Medium in body with low to medium carbonation. Smooth, sweet with a nice bitterness. Well balanced, a good winter porter, easy to drink but not something I would session.
