Samuel Adams Winter Lager

On tap pint at Millers Ale House, Lombard Il. Amber hue, fair, white head and hardly any lace. Served a little too cold but detected aroma of roasted malt, yeast, and maybe caramel. These and some hop bitterness were all I could muster in the flavor department. Okay as a food compliment.

Sample at December 12, 2008 Beer Club meeting. Orange-brown, clear and carbonated. No real head... the body looks very thin as well. Aroma is malty... flavor is sweet and malty, but not overly so. Yep, thin body. Chilly. Tastes amber. Easy going down. Not bad... standard SA quality.

Red amber color. Smell of bread, raisins, cinnamin, caramel and nuts. Smooth without too much carbonation. Taste of bread, wood, with caramel conclusion. Those who like would also enjoy Delirium Noel.

Bottle. Pours a reddish amber with a 3 finger foamy off-white head. Nose is caramel, light hops and some bready aroma. Taste is lots of caramel with some light dried fruit and a mild hop finish. Light-to-medium mouth feel. Highly drinkable, but nothing special.

Draught. Dark ruby, creamy head. Burnt sugar in the nose, licorice and caramel in the flavour.

Flaske. Flot rødlig øl med et fint skumhoved. Rigtig fin smag af hvede og en klar weizenbock feel selvom alkoholen ikke er speciel høj. En solid og god øl.

On tap among an incredibly boring selection at Croxley Rockville Centre. Dark amber with ring and lace. Malty brown sugar with mild portlike hints an light banana. Toasty brown sugar mild banana and wheat tang mild bitterness. Slightly cloying. Medium body and carbo. Decent mouthfeel. Not bad.

Pours dark ambber/brown with light tan head. Light wheat and spice aromas. Similar flavors but nothing really stands out. Medium body with average carbonation. Not bad.
