Another Beer out of the Samuel Adam's Winter Classics 12 pack.

I poured this beer into a Samuel Adam's glass and took notice of the dark amber color and sweet white head that it left at the rim of the glass.

The aroma that this beer gives is overall a light sweetness of the caramel malts. Once it was in my mouth, the body of this beer just felt great (medium). Very little carbonation and all pure ale body.

The taste was first noticed with caramel malts (very typical Samuel Adam's taste) with a surprising well balanced hops at the end.

Even though the label says brewed with cinnamon, ginger, and orange, I didn't notice it. Next time, I'll hold the beer in longer.

Overall the taste is light all around making it balanced and pleasing to drink but there's no stand out flavor or highlight. The body is what stands out the most making this ale pretty drinkable.
