Medium bodied with a light spiced flavor. Some wheat notes with a mild hoppiness. A little caramel sweet, but with a dry finish and lingering hop flavor. Easy drinking and one of the better Sam Adams choices.

A mild flavor with a good heavy set of maltiness. Refreshing aroma and a nice dark brown color. Pretty much what I expect from a Sam Adams, not bad

Amber colored with not too much its light tan head. Smell is wheat, spices, malts, and caramel. Taste is spices, nutmeg, cinnamon, it lingers there with the wheat and malts.

Clear amber with a thin off-white head. Spicy aroma with sweet malt, cinnamon and ginger. Taste is spicy as well, in line with the aroma with some added fruit and caramel. The spices aren’t overpowering and seem to mix in well.

Bottle, thanks ekstedt. Amber with a tan head. Weak aroma with some maltiness. Somewhat sweet with a very light bitterness. Light to medium bodied with light carbonation.

Pours a clear dark reddish brown color with a thick creamy white head. Aroma is mostly caramel malts with a bit of spice and a tiny bit of dark fruit. Flavor starts out with an early kick of spices like cinnamon and nutmeg but stays mellow and dives straight into a rich buttery caramel sweetness that stays through the finish. No bitterness here, very malty and sweet not unlike the Boston Lager with spices. Medium body and average carbonation. Very easy to sip and nice for the cold months but there are "warmer" winter beers out there.
