Samuel Adams Black Lager

Brewed by Boston Beer Company
Style: Schwarzbier
Boston, Massachusetts USA

Sampled at the Sam Adams tasting at Blacklick Wine and Spirits on 3.5.09. Darkest brown pour with a thin beige head. Malty aroma with some roasty coffee. Smoky malt flavor with a bitter coffee finish. Better than I remember.

Bottle: Pours a deep dark chocolate color with a tan head. Smells of dark malts and rich caramels. Tastes of chocolates and nutty bread. Finishes smooth with lots of character.

kinda watered down, caramel and chocolate come through alittle..very roasted..solid body

Apperance; almost black with a dark head. With some aroma with dark fruits and some chochocolate. At the end I feel it is a bit (Bæsk)? don’t know the english word.

Bottle, dark brown color, with a good body that was malty, caramel and chocolate flavored. Slight hops. Medium sized head.

Nice dark brown/black body with a somewhat tall tan head. Smells like burnt grain, some chocolate, and coffee. Light notes of milk chocolate, burnt malt, and a slight spice to it. smooth texture, with a bit of funk in the aftertaste. Reminds me of a thin porter, or really thin stout.

Bottle. Pours a brownish color, darker. Has a decent foamy head, some lacing left behind. I thought this one was really good. Roasted malts, and caramel aroma. Flavor is burnt nuts, roasted malts and other coffee flavors. Medium body.

Bottle. A reddish dark brown beer with an almost tan head of very moderate size. Quite neutral on the nose, some caramel and roasted malts, but not much. Roasted malts, caramel and a touch of coffee in the mouth, medium body. Roasted finish with caramel. A quite decent beer, but surprisingly boring. Hope I’m not prejudiced. Don’t think so, it didn’t ring any bells at all. (090116)
