Samuel Adams Black Lager

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

Bottle: Poured a dark black/brown with an off white head. The aroma was sweet roasted caramel malt. The taste was very similiar sweet and roasted malt. Not as chalky as most dark beers of this type and very pleasant for a grocery market purchase.

Poured dark brown with thin tan head. It has a light aroma of caramel and molasses. The flavor is a decent mix of caramel and molasses with just a hint of chocolate malts. Pretty good brew for the style.

Very dark, better tasting than lion stout. Not much odor but has a dark beer taste all the way. I think yuengling’s black and tan may have something over this for the price. Has a slight lingering finish.

I bought this as part of a twelve pack (a twack) sampler package of Samuel Adams beers. I loved the color and aroma and was surprised by its malt taste.

A nice black pour that looked great in the Sam Adams Boston Lager glass. Great roasted aroma with generous hints of coffee and chocolate. Flavor was sweet chocolate and bitter coffee. Well balanced and refreshing.

pours a dark, cola-like brown while yielding a small of off-white head with modest retention and lacing. The aroma is strongly lead by roasted malts, followed by lesser notes of chocolate and hops. The roasted malts is also at the forefront of the flavor with a bit of bitter chocolate and hops are evident behind the malt; approaching a stout but not quite. The mouthfeel is OK but there is significant room for improvement; light bodied and a bit watery.

Pours a nice dark black with a nice 1/4 inch tan head when poured slowly in to a chilled pint glass. The taste is of a stout but it has a much lighter feel to it and the lager had a nice sweet taste to it but not too sweet. Another good beer from Samuel Adams!

Pours a dark black with a decent head. Aroma is typical, nothing special. taste is slightly metallic with strong hints of coffee and dark roast malts. Slightly watered down. Not bad, will have again.

355 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 4.9%. Not entirely black colour, rather very dark brown. Thick beige head. Moderate but nice aroma of dark bread, roasted malts and herbal German hops. The flavour is moderately roasty with just a modest sweetness, could be called medium dry. A slight acidity in the finish, more bittering hops would be desirable. Decent enough to drink, but not very exciting.
