Christmas might be over, but I'm still rolling through some of this year's holiday brews from the folks at Samuel Adams.
This one is new this year, and boy, does it give off coffee smells when you pour it. It also pours really dark, almost as dark as a Guinness, and you can't see light through it when you pour it into a clear glass and hold it up to a lamp (a sign of a quality stout, in my opinion).
There's definitely coffee in the taste, but I don't feel it was as strong as it was in the smelling. Upon tasting, at first there's a burnt sweetness that hits you followed by some bitter, and then in the aftertaste the bitterness grows stronger though not overly strong.
This isn't one of the best stouts I've ever had, but it's not bad and is worth trying, especially if you happen to be a coffee fan.
