Dec 17, 2007 Bottle. Appearance: Cloudy golden brown, think off white head. Aroma: Cinnamon and spices, other nutty smells... maybe nutmeg and hazelnut.. Palate: Medium, carbonation. Flavor: Very nutty and malty. Cinnamon is strong but not overpowering. Overall: Decent winter lager, very easy drinking.

Dec 2, 2006 12oz bottle. Filtered and reddish. Sparse ring of light beige head. Toasty cinnamon and slightly musty aromas. Medium bodied with a similar flavor profile as the aromas. Toasty, medium roasted malts. Crisp rather sharp flavors. Grainy wheat note. The spices, especially the Vietnamese cinnamon really add a nice flavor. Very tasty in moderation.

Mar 3, 2006 Poured a medium brown with hints of amber, with a medium to small amount of head. Features a nice maltiness, caramels, and several spices that I associate with the winter season - cinnamon, clove, and a little sugar for sweetness. Smooth to drink, I look forward to having this again.

Feb 2, 2003 Very sweet and full bodied. About as drinkable as SA Lager. Not too bad for being mass produced and widely available. I doubt I'll try it again though.

Dec 28, 2004 Draft. Clear brown amber body. Malty caramel flavor with nutmeg/cinnamon spice in the finish. The mouthfeel is a bit too tingly for me. A tastey and well-done bock.

Dec 1, 2002 Moderate malt and light hop nose. Small, fully diminishing head with no lace. Clear, dark, reddish black body. Moderately sweet and bitter; well balanced. Softly carbonated, almost flat. Not as tasty as the Boston Lager but above average for a Winter brew. A solid offering

Jun 12, 2003 Updated: Nov 4, 2006this beer is good. buy it when it first comes out in the winter but be warned, this beer will lay it on you if you drink enough of it. it has a great flavor, and personally this is one of my favorite sam adams
drank this again last night. a typical winter staple beer for me and my friends, its very good. roasted, malty, smooth, and spicy in smell and taste. very smooth, probably one of the best beers sam adams makes. score stays the same
