Description
Guide Review - Tasting Notes and Review for Samuel Adams Holiday PorterHoliday Porter pours black and obtuse, even when held up to the light. The head that forms is a little weak and short but its tan color holds promise of good things to come. The aroma of this porter is subtle with hints of roasted barley. Holiday Porter has a smooth mouthfeel and a slightly smokey sweet quality at the very beginning of the taste. This gives way to a really bitter finish that's as much black barley as it is hops. This bitterness lingers on the tongue.
It could be that I enjoyed this beer so much because all of the others in the Winter Classics pack were on the sweet side. Have you tried this one?
