Nov 28, 2008 (Bottle). Faint malty aroma. Copper body, tiny off-white head. Flavor is mildly sweet, mostly malt with caramel. On the whole, nondescript and disappointing. I was expecting somewhat better.

Nov 27, 2008 Bottle: Pour was dark golden with a light tan head. Aroma was nice with wheat and light spices. Flavor included hints of nutmeg, hints of hops, and a little citrus. Not a bad brew at all.

Nov 27, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours an orange amber with a small white head. Slight spice on the nose, cinnamon, nutmeg, and some malt. Flavor is malt forward with some spice on the back end. Finish is smooth, palate is thin.

Nov 26, 2008 Pours clear amber.
Aroma has some spicy notes of the season with a malty and hoppy nose.
Taste, light spices, malts with light hops.
Some cinnamon spices, leaving a rather weak finish. Overall taste has the signature Sam Adams feel, nothing special about this one.

Nov 26, 2008 I really enjoy Sam’s Winter. A nice dark beer with a bit of spice. It has a nice light cofee color and a smooth spicy finish. A good drinkable beer for a Winter’s night!

Nov 26, 2008 After awhile, it seems a lot of the Sam Adams’ lagers start to taste the same. Bottle... Poured amber with a thin head. Aroma was malty with a spicy sweetness. Smooth palate with buttery malt notes, and toffee or caramel sweet flavors. Sorta run of the mill bock.

Nov 26, 2008 Pours a dark copper-amber with minute slightly offwhite head that dissipates quickly; nose is nutty caramel, rather sweet, sort of a nutmeg/hazelnut aroma; again very sweet on the palate, wheat shows up in the decent body for a lager, mild minty hops towards the finish. Pretty palatable if not very fortifying

Nov 21, 2008 Dark copper color with an amber hue and a nice off white head. Light cinnamon aroma with a hint of hops. Taste is a little dry with a nice grainy flavor. Has a hint of caramel malt and a strong cinnamon taste. A great winter warmer and one of my favorite holiday brews.
