Samuel Adams Winter Lager

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

An all head amber pour. Has a blandly sweet aroma with cara-mel. Tastes of toffee, caramel. A desert beer.

Creamy, aroma of vanilla. Aroma almost more characteristic of a liqueur than a beer. Not very hoppy. Very rich, and a tiny bit sour. There’s more malt than anything else, and the malt is very complex. Doesn’t taste at all like a wheat beer. Doesn’t taste spicey either, which I like...it’s more fruity and has tones almost reminiscent of whiskey. Certainly unique; difficult to drink very much of though, it becomes a bit overwhelming and makes me thirsty.

Bottle 0.355 l, 5.6 %. Darkish amber/orange. Flavor is pretty deep, sweetish, wheaty and american style full. Not subtle by any means, but in your face tasty. And tasty it is. Not sure about the weizen bock cathegory, if you compare to any other weizen bocks, as this is quite an easy session beer.

Pours a dark amber with a small white head. Spiced aroma with wheat and hints of caramel. Complex flavor but not too heavy. Crisp, clean finish. A nice treat for the winter.

Solid performer. It offers a nice array of full body flavors, with a ligher complexity and smooth character. It is a little spicy, a little wheaty, and a little biscuity. It offers slight hop nose, and offers a good caramel flavor as well.

Pleasant, crisp aroma that prepares your nose for the deliscious, smooth brew that is about to cross your palate. Dark color with a thin head. Soft caramel tones, noticable hop presence.

Dark amber color with a thin white head. Aroma is faint spice, light yeast, and some wheat perhaps. A little caramel malt too. Lightly metallic flavor with some caramel malt and light spice. A little chocolate makes its way up in this one too. Rather light and spicey with somewhat of a crisp finish with not alot of lingering flavor.

Bottle. Man, this is a pretty color on the pour. Almost a ruby/amber/copper color that supports a medium head. Aromas are fairly spicy, with a touch of caramel malt presence and maybe a touch of fruit (orange peel?). These factors play nicely in the flavor as well... I’m picking up the malt body that is pretty dominant with some of the orange peel, cinnamon, allspice and an almost peppery flavors swirling around in the background.
