Since October is almost done, now might be a good time to review the Sam Adams Octoberfest and finish up the Harvest Collections reviews, since the Winter Classics variety pack is out too.
As you pour it, you get a nice head, not too thick or deep, but frothy enough. The color is a warm caramel brown, the head is a light brown. At first taste, it has a kind of nutty flavor, with overtones (or is it undertones?) of caramel and toffee. Very malty. Not very sweet and just the right amount of hops.
This is definitely a sittin' around on a cool night kinda beer.
