Samuel Adams Winter Lager

Brewed by Boston Beer Company
Style: Weizen Bock
Boston, Massachusetts USA

Pours a dark amber with a malty sweet nose. Some spice in their, but it’s masked. Sweet and smooth, the name fits. A tasty winter seasonal that makes me think of a nice wood fire.

This is a dark, copper lager. The flavor is sweet with a hint of spice. The aroma is sweet as well.

Darker amber color with a thick head. Aroma consists of malts, wheat, and a little nutmeg. Taste is mainly the same. It’s a little sweeter than I expected. Has a sweetish nutmeg aftertaste. One of their better seasonal styles.

Dark rich amber color; Medium creamy body; Aroma of malt, fruit/floral, and spice; Flavor of sweet roasted malt, caramel, fruit, and spice; To be fair, a little on the light side when compared with other weizen bocks; Overall though, a really good brew.

Bottle. Pours a clear amberish, nut brown color with a small foamy off white head. Nose is fairly hoppy with a backbone of caramel sweet malt and a dry nuttiness. Palate is the sam adam ssignature palate, but a little on the thin side. FLavor is light nuts with a nice hop note, bit spicy hops, and a crisp finish.

Bottle. 12 oz. Pours clean amber with a modest, tan head. Aroma of barley, pumpkin, hops, cherries, and wheat. Medium bodied with a clear, crisp mouthfeel. Nice touch of fruit in the aftertaste. Very good.

Poured a good looking amber color with an off white head that left some lacing. Light aromas and flavors of toasted malt and nuts, fruit, wheat, and spices (mostly nutmeg). A little too thin, slightly creamy. Overall not a bad Weizen Bock, but it left a bit to be desired.

Always a great winter lager....I drank it by the case when I lived overseas. A delicious beer!
