Samuel Adams Winter Lager

Brewed by Boston Beer Company
Style: Weizen Bock
Boston, Massachusetts USA

clear copper color, nice off-white head, great lacing. aroma of musty malt and spice. flavor is spicy, malty and roasty. medium bodied, dry finish. very enjoyable on a snow cold st. louis january day.

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.

I’m not much for lagers...of any sort. In fact, there are less than ten lager beers that I would say I enjoy, and less than 5 that I really enjoy. This beer would not even be in a top 25 category.

I really liked this beer. The aroma was among the most offensive I’ve ever smelled, but hey, you can’t win them all when you output millions of bottles a year. The tastes is nothing like a weizen bock. I don’t know where RB is getting this. This is not a weizen bock, period. Has a nice pumpkin spice to it that is class to winter beers. Nice beer, but nothing spectacular. I do like it, and if I’m at a bar without better beers, this a very nice alternative.

12 oz Bottle form a holiday pack that received fro Christmas. Pours an amber brown with a short lasting light tan head. Very mild, uninteresting aroma. Flavor is malty with a spicy finish. Palate is somewhat thin initially but leaves a thicker feel after taste. A pretty good winter beer with decent flavor but not particularly interesting.

Bottle, 33 cl - Light brown to amber beer with a large frothy head. Caramel malt dominated aroma with hints of toffee. Flavor is malty with notes of caramel. Rather fullbodied with a medium salty bitter end. Pretty good winter seasonal!

12oz bottle: Pours a rusty brown color with a decent sized tan head. Caramel and toasted biscuit aroma. Initially quite sweet as there is a definite caramel taste. Flavors dull to dry bread taste. Medium body with pleasant, soft mouthfeel. Not bad but nothing special. I remember more spice taste to this beer in years past.
