Sam Adams' Winter Classics

reaganyouth84 · 11-05-2005, 10:20 PM

Has anyone seen the Sam Adams' Winter Classics out in stores yet? I just picked it up, and it looks pretty good. There are 12 beers in the package, 2 of each flavor. It comes with the Black Lager, Old Fizzywig's Ale, the Holiday Porter, the Winter Lager, the Boston Lager, and the Cranberry Lambic. I haven't tried any of these except for the Boston Lager. I love Sam Adams beer though. Anyone have any thoughts?

Well, they have them at the cigar store I go to, but I found them at a local grocery store, a Food City. I don't recall seeing any Food City stores out in West TN sarge. Keep an eye open though, I'm about to try an Old Fizzywig's here in a second.

Being from where I have I've had the pleasure to try them all. The lambic isn't bad but not authentic. The Balck lager has the fllavor of a porter/stout but thinner and without much aftertaste. Not bad.

I'm drinking the Old Fizzywig's right now. It is pretty good, you can taste the cinnamon in it for sure. Very unique, very nice beer. It is a very festive beer...I love Christmas. I love me some Sam Adams.

I actually picked this up last night, oddly enough...

I saw it had the cranberry lambic in there and HAD to have it! I haven't seen it in YEARS! (and it's the only Sam Adams I've ever been impressed with...and the only thing I'd call a "craft beer" since their original Boston Lager)...

I had the black lager and thought it was pretty awful. It tasted like water and liquid smoke...

Ah, well, it's Sam Adams, what should I expect?

That was one of the first beers I ever legally drank and it's still one of my favorites. I haven't seen a six pack of it in YEARS, though...

There is a local microbrew at Calhoun's called Sleepy Hollow Ale. Its a seasonal thing, but dude...it tastes like pumpkin cider if there is such a thing. It is the sweetest beer EVER! All you can taste is honey, pumpkin, some citrus, and cinnamon. Needless to say, its liquid panty remover, haha.
