Feb 11, 2007 Bottle. Clear brown color. Thick bubble head with good lace on the glass. Sweet aroma of nut, caramel, and syrup. Highly carbonated pallete like a seltzer that was off kilter. Malty yet watery taste, dissapointing considering the great look and smell going for it. Subtly hopped in the end making it a clean finishing beer but lacking any true distinction. Still one of the best you will find in a supermarket.

Feb 10, 2007 Typical SA offering-- slightly better than a generic macro. Ordinary and mild. Carmel malt and slightly metalic hop taste.

Feb 9, 2007 Pretty good, nuntty flavor. Dark amber color looks great in a glass. Like most Sam Adams brews, I enjoyed it a lot. It’s nothing real wild, but you can’t really go wrong with it either.

Feb 5, 2007 Dark brown body, however a little thin when held to light. Head is toasted, yellowish, and hangs for a bit. Aroma is caramel, chocolate and bitter coffee. Taste is sweet honey and caramel balanced by the asaid coffee. After is a bit drying and bitter from the hops. Decent beer.

Feb 2, 2007 12 oz bottle. A bit average from one of my favorite breweries. I guess I need to refine my palate a bit, because I keep hearing (or reading) about the metalic taste, and I just don’t get that at all. However, I’m keeping that in mind when I taste a SA, and maybe eventually I’ll pick up on it. All I know is I do generally like the SA line, I like the various choices available, and this is no exception. Nice round flavor, light brown in color, white head that hangs on a while, and full mouthfeel. Still like their darker brews better.

Jan 31, 2007 Good. Underrated by all means. Good. good. good. Fresh and drinkable. Better than the black.
