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.

Aug 31, 2008 To me, this is what you get when you mix Sam Adams’ Cream Stout with Sam Adams’ Octoberfest. It’s certainly got the chocolate and caramel flavor in it, although I wish it was even more noticeable. I guess I’ve got a sweet tooth and like a LOT of flavor. It’s a good looking beer with a thin head. It’s got a faint malty finish that’s still quite nice. Overall, a very good beer that I know I’ll drink more of.

Aug 29, 2008 Deep brown black with a thinnish head. Medium roasted malt aroma and flavor. Finish has a lighter roast character. Body is medium-thin. Very drinkable but nothing stellar.

Aug 28, 2008 Bottle 08’. Pour is dark and the head was thin and fast fading. Sweet chocolate and coffee flavour development. Light bodied like a lager and roasty like a porter. Nice brew.
