Great for Christmastime if you live in a colder climate.

Nice Holiday Stout. Medium-To-Full Bodied, Caramel/Chocolate Flavors With Some Oatmeal Towards The End. One Of The Better Winter Seasonals By Sam Adams And Overall A Good Beer (B/B+)

Delicious seasonal porter from Sam Adams. Creamy smooth with a slightly bitter, wonderfully hoppy finish.

Porters aren't my favorite style, but I thought this one was alright. Well carbonated, pleasant aroma. When poured, I got about half a finger worth of foamy head, which dissipated quickly. Interestingly, I observed plenty of lacing remaining on the glass as I drank it. The taste was not exceptionally bitter, as I have found some porters to be. Pleasant sort of roasted coffee taste, but not overbearing. Good blend of hops adds to the finish. Overall, not bad.

Dark brown in color with a white frothy head and spicy notes. Interesting easy drinking porter with a molasses spice taste. Ok

It has a funny smell. However it tastes great! Wonderful flavor with smokey malt chocolate coffee flavors.

More fizzy than I like in a porter. Not as much malt and chocolate either. It's ok though.

Flavorful, dark and porter tasting. Great for a cold winter night.
