Twelve ounce bottle. I like Sam Adams and Sam Adams Light but for some reason their seasonal beers taste like cardboard. Drank only one. I’ll give it another try if I see it on tap.

a traditional bock in style; some spiciness in taste with touch of cinnamon; better on tap; malted wheat not too strong in taste, but affected allergies slightly; will continue to buy as a seasonal brew.

12 oz bottle. pours out all red and mildly foamy. almost no aroma. citrus, malt and cinnamon flavor. ok for free at the in-laws when it’s snowing. wouldn’t buy it on my own. a little boring...

a kind of candy beer with nice tight bubble carbonation. and the fact that it is a -candy yet still beer- is good because it is refreshing. the aroma is low and really barely noticeable. sweetish with a quality nut and tangy yet soapy quality that for some reason is not offensive. alcohol at a respectable level for showing off their ability to conceal. cannot help but notice that Sam Adams is clearly addressing many peoples expectation that they re-assume their dominence in craft brewing or at least establish a minimal standard that is appropriate for this companies accomplishments.

Bottle. Poured old blood red with a foamy off white head. Citrusy and herby aroma. Wheaty body with ginger notes, I didn’t find any cinnamon. Biscuity finish. Enjoyable.

I didn’t catch the ginger/cinnamon flavors that others here noted, I expected them to be more notable. It’s quite malty, though there are plenty enough hops to balance it out. It’s quite smooth, good in cold weather, and overall a great session beer. Too bad it’s only available three months. $7 for the pack here, well worth it!

The aroma is not strong at all. Very malty, but goes down smoother than I expected. I enjoy this beer on its own on a cold night. Decent color but lacking head. In my opinion the 2007 batch is much improved over last year’s.

Pretty good brew. Spicy and malty in the aroma, taste and finish. Not a lot of hop in the flavor, which makes the finish a little to sweet for my taste.
