Samuel Adams Holiday Porter
Poured from the bottle into a nonic pint glass. Good till April 2012, we shall crush you now! A real nice light chocolate brown large three finger head. Lots of retention, good together small bubbles, large cap, almost creamy looking top/ Body is a VERY dark black walnut to hinting barely brown body. Some good ring like lacing while drinking. Good looking brew! Nose is kind of basic and alright. Mild chocolate sense, but very buried, mellow malts, but not very noticeable. Taste improves just slightly. A mellow light charring roast character, not much chocolate action. Mouthfeel hits all the right places, coating, slightly rich, but not watery. Carbonation seems very moderate and totally un-noticeable. Overall an ok porter, no worries there.
