The Drink: Surprisingly medium-bodied for a lager. There is a nice spice to it, perhaps cinnamon and other holiday type spices. Not what you think of as a lager

Notes: I am not a fan of lagers, but I will always drink this one if I have a choice. Sam Adams really puts a twist on this lager, making it heavier, which is what you want in a winter beer. I washed it down with cheese and crackers, how civilized.

The Drink: Nutmeg. Light body with a tan color. Malty, but nutmeg. Some other winter spices, perhaps cinnamon and spruce. It was drinkable and enjoyable, but be prepared for nutmeg.

Notes: With Beth and company after her store's holiday meeting. It was crowded in the Central Square bar, with patrons at the bar not caring to move as a ordered. It was my second drink of the night. It was good, though Beth liked it more. Nutmeg burps, afterwords.
