    Brewmaster’s Collection: Samuel Adams Scotch Ale

    December 4, 2008 / Alcohol, Ale, Beer, Hops, Micro Brew, review, Sam Adams

    Samuel Adams Scotch Ale is a unique ale which stands in a class by itself. Scotch Ale is full of dynamic malts, slightly more bitter than a winter brew, hints of coffee aromas, caramel and smokey hazelnut rises from the glass; this is a first class collectors brew of complex proportions. Samuel Adams makes a great Boston Ale but their Scotch Ale recipe brings you something a bit different in terms of ales. Poured in a glass it greets you [...]

    Samuel Adams Honey Porter Brewmaster’s Collection

    October 15, 2008 / Beer, Porter, review, Sam Adams

This Black Lager pours very dark, with a slight reddish brown color when placed directly up against a bright light, but overall very dark. Black Lager’s aroma hints at dark Swiss chocolate mixed with coffee beans and hearty malts. The [...]

    Samuel Adams Irish Red Brewmaster’s Collection

    October 7, 2008 / Alcohol, Beer, Irish Red, Micro Brew, Sam Adams

    It’s time to try something a bit different from the Samuel Adams branding. Boston Beer Company has always done well with their beers by shipping a high quality product of homebrew standards with great tastes sticking to traditional recipes. Irish Red is no less. Truly, I was worried when I poured the Samuel Adams Irish Red into my tall pint class. I’ve had many Red’s and plenty which were “so so” standard fair and I wanted Samuel Adams to be [...]
