Served in the special Sam Adams glass. Nice fresh, slightly sweet smell. Great full malt flavor with a nice hop bite on the back end of it. Fades out slowly and leaves you with a clean grainy hop taste.
The only way to go with Sam Adams is on tap. Out of a bottle doesn’t do it justice. But beware- a lot of the time on tap it can be too sweet and without that fresh hop bite. Or maybe this custom glass really rocks!

Double milk stout by description. Sweet, dry aroma with hints if dark malt flavor waiting. Sharp sweet taste, immediately followed by a very strong dark malt flavor. Malt flavor fades out slowly. Street hitting hard and sweet up front, the dark malt comes in and balances out fairly well. You don’t really notice the high alcohol content.

Slight sweet smell. Taste is initial harsh sweetness that sort of strangles your taste buds. But once that fades you’re left with a nice even malt aftertaste that lingers and fades slowly.

Fresh raw grainy hop aroma. Had a slightly sweet taste with the same grainy hop flavors present. Leaves you with a moderate hop taste that just fades to sweetness. Overall is nice, but tastes somewhat constructed” rather than artistically created. 2 Basic flavors patched together. Almost like the bold hop presence is trying to mask a mediocre sweet beer in the background. Very bold surprising taste though for Alexander Keith’s.

Very sweet aroma, almost like bourbon. Strong sweet flavor with a high alcohol bite with some hop sweetness. Follows with a strong malt taste which fades slowly into a high alcohol sweetness.

Dark sweet aroma with bourbon hints, but not overpowering at all. Sweet, dark, slight bourbon taste, very well balanced. Finishes with that dark sweet taste lingering a bit before being replaced by a dark malt taste. Delicious, but you have to be in the right mood. Perfect for today’s overcast weather. Bottled on 10/12/13, I drank it on 11/17/13. I’ve read about people cellaring this and such, but I must say it’s delicious one month after bottling.

Very notable sweet aroma, thick and heavy. Sharp sweet hop bite, but mellow/smooth on the backside. The barrel aged sweetness slowly sneaks in to the aftertaste. Bottle 438 of 816, small batch brewed. Hides the high alcohol content well. I can’t believe the small print says made with chamomile, rose petals, & juniper. Sounds yuck.

Dry slightly sweet sharp odor, almost like apples. Mild flavor with a mush-mash of fruity flavor with a malty grainy, almost cereal-like aftertaste. I suppose it’s easy drinking, but with the strange flavor combinations, I’m not sure it’s tasty/enjoyable. Kudos to them for being unique and being a craft beer brewer that makes lagers rather than ales. But it seems more like someone making a turbo-only engine in a car because it’s unique, despite everyone else making internal combustion engine cars because they’re more practical. You don’t have taste on your side, just uniqueness.

Sweet, dark, and dry aroma. Sweet dark malt taste immediately followed by a rotated malt clean taste. Fades out fairly quickly and just gives you hints of malt to linger.

Slightly sweet aroma with hint of hops. Very sweet taste with a hop grain bite on the end. Finishes clean with slight lingering sweetness.
