Samuel Adams Black Lager

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

12 oz. bottle from Brewmaster’s variety pack. Pour to pint. True black body. Had 2 with one thick head that lasted throughout and one medium head that lasted most way. Good lacing. Nice dark chocolate and coffee aroma. Semi-sweet chocolate and espresso bean flavor with just enough bitterness to balance. Really enjoyed and will pick up again in 6-pack.

Tastes smoky like a porter and fairly light bodied overall. Nice, easy beer to drink.

I don’t know what it is about Samuel Adams that makes almost every beer taste the same....oh wait yes it do! It’s the rediculous amount of hops they throw in their beers! Although I must say I like them, they’re all different, yet similar in taste (at least thats the impression I get). It’s dark, rich robust flavor kinda reminds me of drinking a Guinness.

This is a great tasting mass produced beer. the mix of roasty and spicey flavors are smmoth going down.

For a quazi micro brew Sam Adams beers are quite delicious. The black lager is one of my favorites. On a cold day served slightly chilled almost room temperature can warm even the darkest souls.

A schwarzbier with a huge head and a nice aroma of dark malt and some spicy hops. The flavour is crisp and quenching with a fine balance between roasted hops, notes of fruit and the crips dry finish. A fine one!

I was a tad bit dissapointed in this beer. I thought it would be like a porter but it lacked much of the roasty, chocolate taste and thickness. I would rather drink michelob porter.

Bottle pours a pitch black color with a foamy tan head that quickly recedes, but leave some nice lacing along the glass. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, and caramel. Very nice flavor with a smooth mouthfeel. Slight bitterness in the aftertaste. Good balance between the malts and hops.
