Bottle. Pours a deep copper with a nice two finger off-white head. Not much for aroma just some spiciness. Slightly bitter taste. Flavorful and malty. Medium and creamy body. Very smooth and very drinkable although this is my least favorite Sam Seasonal.

Bottle. Pours brownish with a very spicy scent. Very strong taste and a nice bodied beer. Malty here and packs a punch.

Pours a cooper red with a small white-tan head. Aroma is of malt with a slight hint of alchol.Fair amount of creaminess on the palate. Taste is primaily the malted wheat with a slight hops finish. Not overly flavorful for a seasonal craft beer.

Decent winter beer. Almost a copper color, with minimal head. I drank a couple on tap with dinner. Finish is a bit bitter but nothing overwhelming. Its just your typical Sam Adams creation.

12 oz bottle. Poured a clearish dark amber color with a one finger tan head that quickly dissipated. The aroma was bland, with only some spices present, and maybe some sweetish malt. The flavor was caramel with a faint bitter finish. This most definitely is not a weizen bock, so judged by the style listed, this is a terrible beer. However, for drinkability, this is actually pretty decent.
