On to the last of our beers form the Sam Adam's Brewmaster's Collection The ominous Black Lager. Although, since we are talking about corporate America I'm sure it's non-threatening, like say, Will Smith. This pours out a deep dark espresso brown and has a nice smoky mocha, caramel nose. This beer has giant malts, much bigger than an Asian beer, and goes down smooth. There is an up front cocoa that gets sort of overwhelmed by strong coffee flavors that dominate a lingering finish.If you don't like coffee I'd stay away from this one. It's got a nice mouth feel, but it's week on the body. Looking at this stuff you expect a way fuller, richer beer. However, this beer really speaks to me, in fact, it's very well spoken. This is the best of the bunch from the Brewmaster's Collection and a good beer, but this is still not a great beer. Overall, this collection is worth a try, but won't be on my goto list. Next time, we're gonna review a white beer, and see if it's true that you can never go back.
