Commercial Description:
This traditional lager is medium in body with a deep roasted character. Its dark color and rich malty flavor come from specially roasted caramel and chocolate malts. This brew is lightly hopped with Noble Bavarian hops for a soft spiciness and a smooth clean finish. Cheers!

Pours a deep, almost opaque brown color, with a thin, quickly dissipating head. Aroma is of slight malts. Taste is malty, but a little thin, with some caramel notes coming through. Ends a little hoppy. A great beer if you want something really light.

330 ml bottle. Pleasant malty aroma. Good beige head disappeared quite fast. Malty flavour with hints of burnt caramel and a little chocolate. Light hops flavour with low bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel and an easy finish.

Pours black with large quickly receding head. Aroma of dark fruits and a little coffee. Flavors of roasted malts and sweet. Medium body. Best lager I’ve had in a long time.

This moderately malted beer, pours a deep dark brown colour with a large tan head. A little grainy at first, and develops into a metallicy taste. Pleasent at times, its creamy, light chocolatey flavors are probably the highlight of this beer.

I really didn’t like this black lager. It is not the taste I wanted with the look and smell. It leaves a weak bitter taste on the end of my tounge. I got it in a mix pack, and will probably stay away from this in the future.

pours dark black, somewhat lasting tan head, smells very roasted, very chocolaty. the body is very light and it goes down smooth, definitely one of my favorites from sam adams.

Pours a deep brown color with a creamy light-tan head. Plethora of roasted malts on the nose with notes of yeasty bread dough, caramel, burnt coffee, and molases. Surprisingly medium-bodied, but plently of satisfying mouthfeel. The roasted chocolate and caramel malt expresses itself well with appetizing suggestions of pumpernickle bread, burnt brown sugar, and roasted nuts. Smooth, tapered finish with hints of bitter chocolate. Well balanced and appetizing. Try with Tiramisu, or a rich chocolate desert.
