Overall this beer is pretty good. I don’t think you could drink a sixer of it, but thats not the point. Great reddish brown color followed by nose of malt. It is very thick on the palate, and it tastes great. Would buy again.

Dark copper trnaslucent color, foamy off white head that has superb lace. Mild carbonation going to the top. Heavy malt aroma with apple mixed in. Malt flavor muted by a bitter hop. It could have tasted more crisp but ends up too heavy. Don’t know if its the flavor that makes the palate feel heavy too. Winter lager is a Sam Adams perrenial offering but it is not one of their better beers.

Nice dark copper with small beige head. Nose is caramel malts and spices (ginger & cinnamon). Flavor like a warm apple pie, rich maltiness with appley cinnamon. Finishes with lingering maple syrup and ginger, a hint of warming alcohol even. Medium bodied, smoothly carbonated and a bit sticky palate. Nicely different, delicate dessert beer. One of my season favourites!

I did not like this beer when I had it, maybe it was a lil’ out of season and therefore a little old because I thought the flavor was off.

I find myself liking this less and less each year. Pours a good head, nice aroma. Flavor lacks some punch to me. Too thin and watery on the tongue. Not the best effort by SA.

Brilliant red, some creamy white head. Delicate malty aroma. Balanced. Prominent hoppy bitterness. SOft and lively. Somewhat lingering. Sharp carbonic bite.
