Here's a nice little gem I picked up. It's a very basic brew seeing as it's brewed year-around by the Samuel Adams company and it doesn't have a higher-than-usual alcohol content. But...it's good.
Poured into my mug it produced a pretty nice, dark appearance. It let almost no light through and it had a very lasting head - even in the mug. It reminded me a little bit of Guinness. It had a bouquet of hops and the roasted scent of barley. There was also a slight hint of coffee or cappuccino. The taste started off very smooth, although it was a bitter beer. It followed through bitter as well with hints of coffee in the middle and end. It also leaves a coffee aftertaste leading me to believe coffee beans are in the brewing process somewhere. The texture was pretty smooth, but it was harsh at the end. It had the same flow of flavors and sensations as coffee.
Yet another fantastic dessert beer. It amazed me with how good it was even for being so "cheap". Definitely something up for a re-buy.
