Mr. Lesage – ‘burnt lead’ is a flavor description I’ve never heard before!!!! I’m pretty sure there’s no lead in the beer though!

it tastes great i love it, it is my 2nd favorite beer, but do some soldering, it tastes just like burnt lead and it is kind of creeping me out, i hope there isnt any lead in it.

I think this beer is simply ok. Their holiday version of Porter is actually quite a bit better. That really is a pretty dark Porter...looks stoutish. Michael Reinhardt’s last blog post..A Bittersweet Experience: Preliminary Thoughts on Ale in London

Hey... I thought I was the only one who thought this beer was sticky; at least it made my mouth feel sticky when I was finished with it. The other people who were with me didn't get this in the slightest... Good to know I'm not crazy! Regards! Doug @ All Beer Blog’s last blog post..Beer News @ All Beer Blog

You’re completely right in that the honey porter is a bit bitter and goes much better with food. I like the beer enough but I love Sam’s Black Lager. A little bit heftier of a taste and no bitterness. Thanks for stopping by! I don’t review beer every week but often enough. Great site!

lol, i love that 1986 comment. Love this site too, keep up the good work.

I’ve had a few Samuel Smith beers on tap in London and they were excellent, but yet to try the bottles.

Sam Adams was my first introduction to American 'craft' beers. It was twenty years ago and I was on a business trip to New York. I was blown away that there were American beers with flavour! Subsequent trips to the US and to specialist beer shops in the UK have consolidated my view that the Sam Adams team produce thoughtful beers. Beers that have carefully considered recipes that reflect the seasons. Sadly we don't get too many of their beers over here, but I will certainly keep an eye out for this one.

As you can tell from the picture, Heather and I weren't too impressed with this beer... Like you said, the aroma was definitely a little on the strong side and the aftertaste wasn't the best. I think Sam Adams definitely swung and missed with this brew. As for the computer monitor... well, you know... I like to keep things original.. plus it gives a retro feel to my apt. =P Liz - The Sports Bra Reports’s last blog post..Craziest Athletes – Top 5

I have never been a huge fan of a strong honey flavor in beer. I bought a Sam Adams sampler containing two of these this past winter and didn't like it at all. I probably would have rated it even lower than three stars. Don't get me wrong, I hold a TON of respect for Sam Adams and founder, Jim Koch. But besides the fact that I don't care for honey too much, I don't like hops in my porters, and dry hopping adds too much aroma and perceived flavor. I think I might have stuck a bottle or too in by 'beer cellar' (plastic shelf covered in a blanket in my basement) to let the malt gain character. That computer monitor is wicked. nate’s last blog post..Grass Roots Saison Ale by Great Lakes
