October 29, 2005 - #112 of 365

Brewer: The Boston Beer Company (Massachusetts, USA)
Beer: Samuel Adams Black Lager
Style: Schwarzbier
abv: 4.9%

Background: Bottle from a sampler from Kroger.

Appearance: Pours very dark red that looks black until held up to a light.

Aroma: Toffee, caramel, a little chocolate.

Flavor: More of the same, with emphasis on the chocolate and a little added coffee. It gets a little harsh before the finish, which is dry and surprisingly long-lasting (the aftertaste is a bit like smoky licorice).

Notes: Good stuff.

Rating: 3.6 out of 5
