Bottle from Systembolaget. Prety much what you expect from a medium bodied dark lager.

On draft at a bowling alley tonight. Dark copper color with thin off-white head. Aroma of toffee, malt, and spices. Taste of roasted malt, slight hops, and toffee. Moderately carbonated and smooth. Pretty good for what’s basically a macro!

Pretty nice beer here. Toffeeish flavor, and the wheat adds an interesting tang to it. Didn’t have much carbonation to it, though.

Very flavorful; great winter beer. I love the cinnamon and other spices they use to flavor this beer.

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.

Bottle. Nice aroma but has mild flaver. Goes down very smooth with a good aftertaste.
