Our Tastes-- Samuel Adams Black Lager


Finally, the last beer in the Winter Sampler line-up is the Black Lager. This beer pours an almost abyssal black minus any head at all. Unlike porters and stouts that come from Britain, this is a schwarzbier. Instead of being heavily hopped and Brit this one is German and lightly hopped and uses a lager yeast. This type was big in East Germany before the unification and became a staple brew at SA in 2004. Characteristics 4.9%abv and 191cal/12oz.
