Samuel Adams Honey Porter

Hello everyone, this is Fontes. Tonight I'm sitting down enjoying a Samuel Adams Honey Porter. This particular beer is part of Samuel Adams Brewmaster's Collection. I purchased this in a six pack for $8.99 plus tax. Since this is a porter, the appearance of this particular beer is very dark. When I held it up to a light source, very little light was able to shine through. The smell of this beer is very nice. I can describe what I smell to you with only two words...Roasted Malt. I've found that this is a key smell that I find in many porters and this particular porter is no exception. The taste of this beer is very good in my opinion. When the beer first entered my mouth, I got a taste of roasted malt, caramel, and chocolate. After I swallowed the beer, I got a very distinct honey flavor. None of the flavors are overwhelming. Each flavor complements each other to create a great tasting beer. The way in which this beer was served in was in bottle form. However, I poured the beer into a glass after I opened the bottle. I find that this helps to bring out more aroma and taste from the beer. I have to say that porters are by far one of my favorite types of beer to drink and the Samuel Adams Honey Porter did not disappoint me at all. It was a joy to drink from start to finish. This beer gets a definite thumbs up from me.
