Beer of the Week Blast from the Past: Samuel Adams Winter Lager

Beer score: 6.6

I went looking for this beer recently and found it out had been discontinued only a few years ago. What a shame, because this was a decent brew. Anyway, though I can't drink it now, I provide below some of my notes about this beer written a decade or so ago when I last had a chance to try it.

The beer had a strong, robust flavor. It started off sweet at first taste, but turned bitter on the way down. A very hardy brew. There almost seemed to be a touch of cinnamon in the beer, which is traditionally a flavor I don't care for in my beers, but here it worked.
