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!

So far this is one of my favorite samual adams. The roasted caramel and chocolate malts and hops come through lightly, but smooth. Decently balenced beer.

Just a great beer. Pours very black with a slight tan head that disappears shortly. nice chocolate and caramel undertones, is somewhat heavy, not very pleasant to drink more than 2 or 3 but overall my favorite Sams

This beer started me down the road of looking for good beer. It’s also my favorite sam adams. Pours deep black, with small tan head that disappears quickly. Smells roasty, fruity with hint of spice. Tastes of coffee, chocolate, dried fruit, cream. Very smooth mouthfeel. More of a late-night dessert beer, because it is pretty heavy.

Smooth roasted sweet caramel malt - soft fruit notes with some earthiness and rye-type bits.

Not one of my fovorite sam’s. The malty ness and darkness do not convine, they separate. For a lager it should have more of a crisp finish but this def. lacks.

Dark brown with medium head. Wonderfully smooth with tastes of chocolate, burnt malt and light coffee. High carbonation is a bit much. Dry finish. A bit thicker than many schwarzbiers. Minimal fruity esters. One of my favorite styles, and at this price this is a solid one.
