Sep 29, 2008 Pours a deep brown with a thick frothy white head. Not a strong tasting beer, however you can taste the malts with a hint of nuttiness.

Sep 28, 2008 Murky, dark tan, that you can just about see through; is has a strong but pleasant malty aroma that pleases the nose; its taste is surprising robust, it has a mashup of bitterness, maltyness and some complex elements to it, there is some roasted undertones that give way to the complex bitterness t

Sep 27, 2008 Pours a dark ginger brown with a thin off-white head. Smells of brown sugar and caramel malts. Taste is a little light to be considered a really good brown ale, but there are some pleasing sugary notes in there in the form of ginger, brown sugar, caramel. Adequate carbonation. Overall a decent brew, but nothing special.

Sep 25, 2008 12oz bottle. Nice looking beer; deep brown with a medium tan head. Honey, caramel, mild roast and unfermented wort aroma. The flavor is sweet caramel with a rather watery finish that has no hops or relative bitterness. Light body with little carbonation. This just needs some bitterness; the sweetness gets a bit overwhelming by the end. That seems to be the theme with Sam’s darker beers. This is my first time revisiting this since i got into better beer, and it seems much more tame and boring than it did in the past. Also, definitely shares a lot of character with the Honey porter, black lager etc.

Sep 21, 2008 Pretty good flavor, but too watery and weak. Too light bodied and not creamy enough for a good brown ale. Very drinkable and not too sweet. Light carbonation. Mild honey and caramel sweetness. No hops.

Sep 18, 2008 Pours a real dark brown color and a good thick foamy head forms on top. The aroma includes smells of biscuits, nuts and caramel. The flavor is very nutty and very biscuity. Hops are definitely noticeable but not over powering. I thought that this was a rather good brew for Sam Adams. But then I am rarely disappointed by them.
