Sam Adams Honey Porter

This is part of the Sam Adams Brew Master's Collection seasonal brews.

It pours a very dark, but very clear red-amber color with a small, light brown head with little lacing, if any. Aroma is very heavy with malt, but slightly floral scented. Maybe even a slight hint of chocolate?
The malt flavor hits the senses immediately, but the sweetness and flavor of honey hits them in short succession. On the rear of the tongue (before you swallow) you detect some of the floral accents from the hops. The finish is not bitter, but is instead mildly sweet.

Certainly not at all an everyday beer because of its gravity and flavor, but if you're looking to enjoy a beer for the sake of enjoying a beer I highly recommend picking up a case of this.
