Samuel Adams Black Lager

Samuel Adams Black Lager is a pretty interesting beer. It’s made from roasted malts and it is lightly hopped. It poured a nice dark color with a decent head. The aroma was somewhat sweet. I was able to detect a taste of chocolate, which was overlaid by a subtle smokey flavor. It kind of reminded me of a porter, but there were differences.

When you held the glass up to the light, you could see tell by the quality of the copper glow that it was a filtered beer.

It’s a good beer, especially for wintertime. The chocolate taste does it credit. It’s not my favorite Sam Adams beer, but it’s not bad. I would drink it again.
