Sam Adams Scotch Ale - This is a hard beer for a hard drinker. Think a normal ale, then add to it a smokey peat malt--the same malt, ironically enough, used to make scotch. This beer is rough. It's only intriguing for the first few ounces. After that, it just tastes like an oddly-made boilermaker. Rating: 4 out of 10 buckets of anus blood.
Sam Adams Boston Ale - An ale for an ale lover. Hoppy, yet smooth, you could safely drink half a dozen and not taste it for the next three days. It's got a clean finish that goes well with food, I'm sure. Rating: 7 out of 10.
Sam Adams Hefeweizen - I am a man torn when it comes to this beer. On the one hand, my time in Berlin allowed me to craft a good nose for this kind of beer. This was acheived, naturally, only though dedication and hard work...which is to say, I was in a bar seven nights a week, getting tanked on hefeweizen. Thus, I associate it with all sorts of fond memories, so I have a fondness for this beer.
On the other hand, I take my hefeweizen seriously. I'll pay out my ass for a good imported bottle of it, and Sam Adams, my friends, does not make a stellar hefeweizen. It's got all the ingredients. Cloudy? Check. Wheaty? Check. Unfiltered? Check. It's all there, and yet, it's not. The hops are too strong; this is supposed to be a wheat beer.
Final thoughts? It's a decent try, but to this elitist asshole, it doesn't pass muster. Rating: 5 out of 10.
Sam Adams Black Lager - I've talked about this strange beer before. This is a beer that's all about the malt. Caramel malt and chocolate malt absolutely dominate this beer, and they make it taste like coffee. It's an interesting beer, but I can't see anyone anywhere drinking more than two. Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
That's it for now. The other beer in the back is the Brown Ale, which I haven't had a chance to try. I'll do that tomorrow, and add my thoughts then.

I like their Boston Ale, though, as well as the Cherry Wheat and the Summer Ale.

They also make a damn good cream stout.

Sam Adams makes the best ales. Summer Ale and Boston Ale are both some of my favorites.They also make a damn good cream stout.
I'm getting a keg of Summer Ale for my wedding party. Gonna be awesome.

To solve this problem, I suggest drinking beer while receiving a blowjob. In addition to associating the taste of beer with fond memories, these acts, when combined, grant a permenant +5 to your masculinity score.

Yeah, but it has to be out of a can or a bottle. Out of a glass gives no modifier. And a sippy cup will give him a gargantuan penalty.
Shut up. I'd rather look goofy than spill it.

However, bottling or canning makes ales/beer taste like shit most of the time. Notable exceptions include Theakston Old Peculier which I was appreciating last night.
I'm looking forward to the pub crawl tonight through thirteen of Sheffield's best pubs mostly for hand pulled Samuel Smiths beers and ales rather than for getting shitfaced Niklas fucked around with this message on 04-27-2006 at 03:48 AM.
