Samuel Adams Winter Lager from Boston Beer Company (Sam Adams)
Rating: B
On the whole, seems more like a doppelbock than a winter warmer.
Appearance: Beautiful garnet in color, moderate head, and little to no lacing. Points for such a nice color, though.
Smell: Very much like a doppelbock. Malty, lager-clean, with a hint of spice.
Taste: Caramel notes, some spice in the background. Doesn't taste as good as it smells. Very little in the way of hop character. Hard to pick out individual spices - restrained usage.
Mouthfeel: Good body for a lager, good carbonation.
Drinkability: Decent, but not exceptional.
Serving type: bottle
