Sam Adams Imperial White
Style; glass: Belgian Strong Ale; Trappist
12 fl oz x 10.3% ABV = 123.6 / 60 = 2.06 beers * 150 C = 309 calories (est.)
Purchased at: Canal’s Lawrenceville, NJ for $2.50
Aroma: nice, coriander, syrup, honeysuckle, cardamom, curry.
Visuals: classic packaging, deep orange body, thick, long lasting white head, sticky intricate lace.
Taste: unbalanced, cloyingly sweet, a bit overpowering, with some chemical notes, though after the initial shock, fruit, nuances of layering in peach and apple, and earthy flavors emerge.
Palate: creamy, with a choclatey sweet finish, some sourness remains.
Overall: A nice effort by Boston, but they’re out of their league vs. Trappists. I’d have it again, if the price was a bit cheaper.

Pingback by Another new post : Treasured Valley 05/19/2009 @ 4:48 PMWithout a doubt one of my favorites. Period. Sam Adams does an absolutely delightful job with this brew. I’m interested in trying the Imperial Stout, but my distributor seems not to be able to get same here. I’ll be in Ft Worth Thursday, so perhaps I’ll find it there.

Comment by lemasney 06/07/2009 @ 11:09 PMForgive my error. Double Bock, not Stout. Again, perhaps I’ll find it there.
Comment by cmblake6 06/07/2009 @ 11:07 PMThey also have an imperial stout. There are three beers in their imperial series. You’re all good, and so are they.
