COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bold and rich, with a touch of holiday spice. The first thing one notices about a Samuel Adams® Winter Lager is the deep ruby color. Then comes the magical aroma which promises something special on the tongue. The cinnamon, ginger, and hint of citrus from the orange peel blend with the roasty sweetness of the malts to deliver a warming, spicy flavor. On the palate Samuel Adams Winter Lager is rich and full bodied, robust and warming, a wonderful way to enjoy the cold evenings that come with the season.

A nice dark beer for the winter. A nice malty aroma topps a dark but not quite opaque glass with a nice foam. Roasted grain flavor coupled with a smooth and less than thick feeling liquid finish crisply and cleanly. Contrary to all of this, I do tire of these beers quickly. A twelve pack is more than enough to get me through the winter.

I like the Oktoberfest offering from Sam Adams better, but this isn’t too bad either. Do I taste nutmeg in there? Nice color, and good cling from the head.

UPDATED: SEP 17, 2009 7/13/02 : Kinda strong, kinda spicy, kinda good. 2/23/05: Redish amber color with a small beige head. Aroma is burnt caramel. Flavor is malty caramel with a hint of spice, lightly bitter and finishing fairly dry. A decent winter brew.

Rib Eye (144) - USA - JUL 9, 2002

UPDATED: DEC 4, 2008 A very decent brew from Mr. Koch and company. A bit fizzy and filling for me but interesting malt in the mouth/hops in the medium-long finish contrast. Seems to be a carefully-crafted flavor.

Good winter beer. Not over-spiced where it becomes too bitter. Very clean tasting. I can’t believe it, but I finally found a Winter beer I like.
