Beer Review: Samuel Adams Black Harbor Stout

Beer: Black Harbor Stout
Brewer: Boston Beer Company

Rating:  **** (8.3  of 10)
Comments:

Poured in a brandy glass, this beer is the color of black velvet.  The scent is candied cherries or raisins, while the flavor is kind of a mulled wine crossed with coffee (in a good way).  A delicious alternative to the same old.

From the same brewer:

• 7.8 – Samuel Adams Winter Lager
• 7.5 – Samuel Adams Boston 375 Colonial Ale
• 7.2 – Samuel Adams Cinder Bock
• 7.0 – Samuel Adams Latitude 48
• 6.9 – Samuel Adams Hefeweizen
• 6.8 – Samuel Adams Merry Maker
• 6.3 – Samuel Adams Blackberry Witbier
• 5.4 – Samuel Adams Boston Brick Red

Comments:

A copper-colored beer with a solid head, Sick Day offers up a piney nose with a nicely balanced flavor of pine, nut, bread and citrus with a slight bitterness.  There’s a luscious lacing left behind on the glass.  Long Trail does it again!

From the same brewer:

• 7.6 – Long Trail Seaport Honey Ginger IPA
• 7.5 – Long Trail Imperial Pumpkin Ale
• 6.9 – Long Trail Belgian White
• 6.9 – Long Trail Blackberry Wheat
• 6.9 – Long Trail Double Bag Ale
• 6.6 – Long Trail Harvest Ale
• 5.9 – Long Trail Harvest
